    Bishops Palace Fetternear

    (Old) House of Fetternear, from c.1566. The massive footings of the palace, built by Bishop Ramsay of Aberdeen in 1226 and extended by Bishop Kyninmond, 1330, are still visible in front of the old house. The lands remained with the bishops until 1550 when a lease, which rapidly became a gift, was granted to John Leslie, eighth Baron Balquhain. They retain a timeless feel. Oldest part is three-storey tower with circular south-west angle tower and vaulted ground floor.
