Craigdarroch, Category A listed country house in Glencairn, Scotland.

The Georgian mansion features traditional Scottish architectural elements with a prominent entrance marked by the construction date of 1729 above the doorway.

The residence served as the ancestral seat of the Fergusson family for six centuries, with documented ownership beginning with Jonkyne Fergusson in the 14th century.

Annie Laurie, who inspired the famous Scottish ballad, lived at Craigdarroch for 33 years after her marriage to Alexander Fergusson in 1709.

Visitors can access the property via the B729 road west of Moniaive, with advance arrangements required for tours of the historical building.

The house contains a marriage stone displaying the Cunningham family shakefork emblem, preserved at the base of the original tower structure.
