Memsie House, Category A listed country house in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Memsie House is a three-storey country residence in Aberdeenshire with classical Georgian architecture that follows the style of Aberdour House. The property includes two separate pavilion buildings positioned in the forecourt that originally served household and farm purposes.

The house was built in the 18th century and reflects regional building traditions of the time. The Fraser family occupied the property for several generations before Lord Saltoun acquired it in the early 1800s.

The architectural style of Memsie House represents a smaller variation of Aberdour House, demonstrating the regional building techniques from 1760.

The property holds Category A listed status, meaning any structural changes require official approval before proceeding. Visitors should be aware that access may be limited and advance notice may be needed.

The main facade faces south, a deliberate architectural choice that made the most of daylight and warmth in the Scottish Highlands. This orientation is one of the subtle details that reveals thoughtful design in its construction.
