From the Wikipedia article
Ythsie (pronounced ‘icy’) is a hamlet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, about one mile east of Tarves. To the north of the hamlet, on the Hill of Ythsie, is a tower called the Prop of Ythsie. It was built in 1861-1862 to commemorate George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen, and is a grade C(S) listed building. The money to pay for the building work was raised by tenants from his Haddo Estate. North Ythsie Farmhouse is grade B listed, and South Ythsie Farmhouse is grade C(S) listed. Australian politician John Hay (1816-1892) was born at Little Ythsie, which lies to the east of the hamlet.
