Black Barony

The remains of a 16th-century tower house, built by the Murrays of Blackbarony, form the oldest part of the building.

[3] Sir Archibald Murray, 3rd Baronet (died c. 1700) was a soldier and from 1689 served as "Sole Master of Work, Overseer, and Director-General of their Majesties' buildings" to King William II and Queen Mary II, filling the post which had been vacant since Sir William Bruce's dismissal in 1678.

Many Polish military personnel escaped via Romania to France and the United Kingdom.

The Poles provided the defence of many areas and vital services such as patrolling and guarding beaches, ports, estuaries, airfields and radar sites.

An underground, ovoid structure, dated 1789 was constructed 100m to the north-east of the house by the 7th Lord Elibank.
