The estate was purchased in 1767 by James Montgomery, Lord Advocate and future Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, but the castle itself was erected by Sir James Montgomery, second of Stobo, who succeeded his father in 1803. Built between 1805-1811 to the designs of James Elliot, the port-cochere was added later about 1849 by the Edinburgh
architect, John Lessels. The classical treatment of the interior is somewhat of a contrast to the mediaeval appearance of the outside which
resembles a fortress. It stands in an extensive landscaped parkland.
