History

A "tower and manor place" at "Cringiltie" are mentioned in a charter of 1633.[3] The lands of Cringletie were purchased in 1666 by Alexander Murray of Black Barony, another nearby estate. Murray built a house on the site, which forms the core of the present building.[1] Captain Alexander Murray (1715–1762), an officer of the British Army who saw service in the Seven Years War, was born here.[4] The house belonged to the Murray, later Wolfe Murray, family until 1941.[1] In 1971 it was first converted into a hotel, and has since changed ownership on more than one occasion.[2]

The grounds of the house include a walled garden and an 18th-century doocot.[1]
