Heritage listing

Category C Date Added 16/04/1971 Local Authority Aberdeenshire Planning Authority Aberdeenshire Parish Old Deer NGR NJ 97284 48937 Coordinates 397284, 848937 — Probably before 1820. Single segmental arch, granite ashlar. Re-categorised as C(S) from B for Group (2006). The listing relates specifically to the group interest of the subject. It applies, as always, to interior as well as exterior, as appropriate to building type. — B group Although the house was demolished in 1927-30 and the grounds have suffered much from timber felling, the Lake and its surrounding buildings still have great landscape and architectural value. The buildings are probably all the work of John Smith who is credited with the house (reconstructed c 1809; fire damaged 1820, reinstated with further additions 1821-2) in the A.P.S.D. and his Aberdeen Journal Obituary. Virtually nothing remains of the house; the basin of the fountain survives on the E. much damaged. The Riding School is much altered.
