Ury House, Category B listed mansion in Stonehaven, Scotland
Ury House is a Category B listed mansion standing one mile north of Stonehaven in an English Jacobean style, featuring large windows and architectural details characteristic of 1850s Scottish country houses. The building is currently undergoing restoration work as part of a major development project.
The estate changed hands from the Frasers to the Hays in 1413, later passing to the Earl Marischal before David Barclay acquired it in the 1660s. The Baird family purchased it in 1854 and subsequent changes reflected the region's evolving landscape.
The house was an important center for Quaker life in northeast Scotland during the early 1600s under David Barclay's direction. Visitors can sense this spiritual heritage woven into the building's past.
The house is not currently open for regular visits due to ongoing restoration work. The nearby town of Stonehaven offers accommodations and services for travelers exploring the surrounding area.
Bronze Age burial remains discovered on the grounds suggest the area has been inhabited for thousands of years. This archaeological evidence reveals a far older human presence than the house itself.
