Kingswells House

A photograph of Kingswells House taken from The Freedom Lands and Marches of Aberdeen 1319-1929 compiled by Donald B. Gunn (1929).

This house, which originally dates back to the 17th century and was extensively restored in the 19th century, still stands today and can found nestled among Kingwell's Prime Four Business Park. In recent times, it has been used as a spiritualist centre.

Kingswells estate was initially feued in 1551. Gunn writes the following about the lands:

"Kingswells was feued to John Arthur at a feu duty of £13 6s. 8d. Scots. It was owned subsequently for a long time by the well-known Jaffrey family, and is at present held by the Trustees of the late Dr. Francis Edmond, who acquired the estate in 1854." (page 13).
