James Stewart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart,_2nd_Earl_of_Moray (17th Century - The Bonnie Earl of Moray) lived here. For a time it was the home of the Donibees - Fleet Air Arm 1917-1959 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/40554. In the late nineties the main house was totally rebuilt, restored and converted into modern flats and townhouses. Only the East and West Wings (out of shot) remain of the original building.
