This is believed to be the oldest house of its kind in Aberdeenshire. Built in 1629 by the Kennedys of Ellon and extended in the 18th century, it is a Grade A listed building. The owner's web site at http://www.ardgrain.com/ardgrain has historical material about Ardgrain. The name is probably Gaelic from 'ard' meaning 'high' and 'grian' meaning 'sun'.
