Old Photograph Ury House Scotland

Old photograph of Ury House by Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house was built in the Elizabethan style in 1885 by Alexander Baird. Originally the estate belonged to the Frasers, then the Hays starting in 1413, but eventually became the property of the Earl Marischal. Over the years Ury has been rebuilt three times. In early times the property was known as Urie. In the 17th century Ury was established as the North East Scotland headquarters of the Quaker organisation by David Barclay. Bronze Age cists have been found at the site of the Ury House. Roman legions marched from Raedykes to Normandykes Roman Camp nearby as they used higher ground evading the bogs of Red Moss and low lying mosses associated with the Burn of Muchalls. That march used the Elsick Mounth, one of the ancient tracks crossing the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains, lying west of Netherley.
