House of Memsie (also known as Mesmie House) is a Category A listed [3] country house and estate in Memsie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It dates to around 1760, and it received its historic designation in 1971. [1] It was formerly the home of the Fraser family for over three hundred years. [4] It was sold to Lord Saltoun in the early 19th century. [4] A Captain Dalrymple was another previous owner. [5] Historian Charles McKean describes it as a "smaller and more decorative version of Aberdour House". [6]
