I do not know exactly when the house was built, or who the original architect was, but probably in 1838 for William Waddell, 4th of Easter Moffat (1789-1876), who was an Edinburgh lawyer and Writer to the Signet, and his wife Margaret Fogo Campbell (1799-1867), daughter of Archibald Campbell of Melfort in Argyll. It was restored in 1912 by John Maurice Arthur of the architectural practice of George Arthur and Son, and in 1922 the parkland was developed into a golf course. See http://www.emgc.org.uk/
