Dunecht Estate offices
Note the Palladian (Venetian) window in the right-hand wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladian_architecture ). For more on the Dunecht Estate, see: http://www.dunechtestates.co.uk/ . Whether you regard it as progressive rural capitalism or neo-feudalism will probably depend on your point of view...

Viscount Cowdray Arms...
...on the wall of the Dunecht Estate Offices. We see Pearson (Per fesse indented gules and or, two suns in splendour in chief and a demi-gryphon couped, wings elevated and addorsed, in base all counterchanged) impaling Cass (Per pale argent and azure, a balance suspended between two flaunches*, each charged with a branch of palm slipped,** all counterchanged). The supporters are: Dexter, a diver holding in his exterior hand his helmet; sinister, a Mexican peon (sic), both proper (*a circular arc emerging out of each flank of the shield; **a stem or stalk). The crest: On a wreath of the colours, in front of a demi-gryphon as in the arms, holding between the paws a millstone proper, thereon a millrind sable, a sun in splendour. Blazons from Armorial Families by Fox-Davies. For Viscount Cowdray, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weetman_Pearson,_1st_Viscount_Cowdray .

Dunecht from Hill of Corskie
The grey roofs of the village are visible beyond the grassy field, or "park". Gorse is in bloom in the foreground, a common sight in the year. "When the gorse is not in bloom, love's out of season" is an old saying.

Dunecht Estate Office armorial plaque
The relief plaque of the Cowdrey family has Mexican connotations, since the family money largely arose from their Mexican oil interests. The motto 'Do it with thy might' is from Ecclesiastes 9:10.
