Auchmacoy House

The brilliant white of the house, illuminated by a shaft of sunlight and surrounded by dark trees, caught my eye from a distance. It is the seat of Clan Buchan, and was for a time a possession of the Earl of Caithness, who died there and is buried in Logie Buchan Kirkyard. The house was built in the 1830s, with unusual features including the chimneys, windows and pediments.
