Elie House, Category A listed country house in Elie, Scotland.
Description
Elie House is a three-story stone building with a five-bay front situated in Fife, Scotland. It was substantially altered in 1770 and 1854, then converted into 13 apartments in 2012 to serve modern residential needs.
History
Judge Sir William Anstruther had the house built in 1697 as his family seat. The Anstruther family held it until 1853, when ownership passed to others and the residence entered a new phase of its history.
Culture
The house evolved through the hands of families who each left their mark on its design and character. These layers of modification show how changing tastes and needs shaped the residence over time.
Practical
The building is now divided into private apartments and not open for public tours. Its exterior can be viewed from local walking paths that pass near the property.
Did you know?
Local legend tells of a curse placed on the house by a resident of the hamlet Balclevie, which was cleared away to improve the estate's vistas. This tale remains part of the property's local folklore.
