Rickarton House

Rickarton House

Rickarton House is an historic home in Aberdeenshire, Scotland approximately six kilometres northwest of Stonehaven. (Ordnance, 2004) Other notable historic structures in the vicinity are Ury House, Fetteresso Castle and Muchalls Castle. This structure is situated along the north banks of the Cowie Water slightly upstream of the confluence with Cowton Burn.

History

Some of the earliest recorded history of the local vicinity relates to the Roman legions march from Raedykes to Normandykes Roman Camp. That march used the nearby Elsick Mounth, one of the ancient trackways crossing the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains. (Hogan, 2007)

Rickarton House was constructed in the first decade of the 19th century by William Rickart Hepburn.(Watt, 1985)
