Lessendrum, Category C listed building in Drumblade, Scotland.
Lessendrum stands as a two-story country house with diagonal shafted chimneys and large pinnacles at its southwestern section located in Aberdeenshire.
The structure dates back to 1470 and underwent substantial modifications in 1816 and 1836 under the direction of architect Archibald Simpson.
The Norman-rooted Bisset family, one of the oldest established lines in Aberdeenshire, maintained strong connections to this country estate through generations.
The building, currently in ruins after a fire in 1921, contains remnants of 17th-century architectural elements including fireplace surrounds and roll-moulding details.
The structure evolved from an L-shaped core to incorporate extensive Jacobean design elements, demonstrating the transformation of Scottish country houses.
