Ury House

Ury House is a large ruined mansion in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, built in the Elizabethan style in 1885 by Sir Alexander Baird, 1st Baronet.

Originally the estate belonged to the Frasers, then the Hays starting in 1413, but eventually became the property of the Earl Marischal.

In the 17th century, Ury was established as the north-east Scotland headquarters of the Quaker organisation by David Barclay.

[3] There have been earlier proposals for its restoration, including a 2004 planning application, which was rejected by the local Community Council.

Cowie Water has generally alkaline pH as tested at the perimeter of the Ury Estate, although its pH is somewhat lower above the confluence with the Burn of Monboys, explained by Lumina Tech as due to more acidic drainage from upland moorland peat areas in the Burn of Monboys watershed.
