Glasshaugh House, Aberdeenshire

[ryedale rodent]

Yes, it's one of the best records of the wealth of neglected houses in Scotland, but makes for very sad reading. I've visited quite a few of the sites over the years.

I almost forgot about the resident goat. It was 100 times better than the house.

That's one diabolical looking goat.

It was really cute, it was bounding about like a puppy.

Glasshaugh House dates back to 1770.
It was re-designed by Archibald Simpsom in 1840.
It was last occupied in the 1950's and is now a gutted shell inside.

Hi,

I had my childhood at Glassaugh, it was derelict by then, but we were able to hang our washing on the third floor!.
My parents renovated the smaller house in the 80's.
Please can you tell me, do you have any other pictures please.
I have a photo taken at Glassaugh in 1912. My parents found it in the woodshed.

I hope you reply

Regards Claire

Hi Clare, I'm not the original poster but I explored with her years ago, and also with Lost and Ali (who is tragically no longer with us). There may be some photos on their Flickr pages -
