Description
Haddo House Home Farm - there's an inscription in granite on the face of the building which reads "Built By John Forbes of Haddo, 1831" and looks like it was put there yesterday.

  Is this still in use?

  Partially, there's a cowshed around the back and the roofed part is used for storage. It's owned by the same people as the house.

  I know! It's amazing to think about this house in it's prime.

  Absolutely amazing! Wish I had the pounds to make that a home. It must have been something else in it's day. You can almost picture it. Thanks for the tour!

  Haddo House, c.1836, Archibald Simpson. Truly a marginal location, so close to the old county border that the walled garden, with its cracked doocot and brick walls, is in Banffshire. Set within decaying woodland, there is an air of
systematic neglect about the three distinct, mostly roofless structures. A central three-storey rubble block, plain and perhaps of the 17th century, with, to the south, a T-plan Italianate mansion, harled with granite margins, deep eaves and an extravagant 'porte-cochère' entrance tower, all very reminiscent of Simpson's Thainstone. The third element, to the
north, has twin curved gables and cruciform chimneys and is described as offices, although a grander, independent existence cannot be ruled out. The Home Farm of 1831 was once quadrangular but is now sadly much altered and
abused; curved gabled entrance tower over arched pend - Scotland Heritage Registry
