Haughton House was the seat of
Farquharson.
The Haughton estate was first bought by Farquharson 1721.
They first built a small L-shaped cottage that still stands, just N of Haughton House.
Henry Noltie (of Germany)
was valet
to Farquharson of Haughton
(on the Continent, in town at Edinburgh, and at Haughton)
from perhaps c.1790
until his death 1811.
The building of Haughton House started 1791, with many later alterations.
William Smith
was gardener at Haughton from 1793
prob. until his death 1827.
There was a walled garden, and extensive grounds. Henry Noltie
was servant
to Farquharson of Haughton
(on sea voyages, at Edinburgh, and at Haughton)
from 1800 until his marriage 1823. Henry Noltie (of Germany)
lived at Haughton apparently 1809 until his death 1811.
Farquharson sold the house in 1925.
It then had various uses (hotel, convent, school).
It was bought 1970 by Aberdeenshire Council.
It is now the centre of
Haughton Country Park,
a caravanning and recreation park.
As well as caravan sites in the grounds,
there are self-catering flats in Haughton House itself.
