It was the seat of the Ogilvies of Findlater, who went on to become the Earls of Findlater and Seafield, and it remained in their family until 1982. Building work started on the house in 1600, incorporating some of the stonework of an earlier building on the site.

It has been described by the architectural historian Charles McKean as "one of the grandest houses in Scotland" and is designated a Category A listed building.
