The House of Schivas
2393 The House of Schivas was built around 1585 and was the work of Thomas Leper. The lands were originally held by the Scheves family and successive families made many alterations to this architecturally complex L-plan tower house. Located just east of Methlick, it is a catagory B listed building. Burnieboozle House
2603 A photograph of Burnieboozle House taken from The Freedom Lands and Marches of Aberdeen 1319-1929 compiled by Donald B. Gunn (1929).
This was a country house located to the north west of Craigiebuckler House, at the end of what is now Burnieboozle Crescent. The house could be accessed by a road going south from Burnieboozle Farm on Hazledene Road.
Judging by Ordnance Survey mapping, the building looks to have been demolished as the area was developed for housing in the late 1950s. The house's location is now a children's play area in the centre of a modern housing development.
There is an excellent plan by surveyor James J. Beattie of the lands and house of Burnieboozle in 1848 available on the National Library of Scotland website here. It features a detailed illustration of the house's exterior, showing an extended conservatory and gabled entrance, a floorplan of its two floors and a map of the estate's land. Feuing Plan of Part of the Estate of Ruthrieston
247 This feuing plan from 1875 was drafted James Forbes Beattie & Son, Civil Engineers and Surveyors. The production of the plan is credited to Keith & Gibb, Lithographers and Engravers to the Queen. The plan shows Ruthrieston Terrace and Bridge of Dee Road and also features an illustration of the Bridge of Dee area and life on the river. Carnousie New House
349 A plan and elevation of Carnousie New House. Designed by Archibald Simpson for a wealthy sea merchant called Captain Alexander Grant. Building began around the 1830s or early 1840s. It was located near Forglen.
Captain Grant lost his fortune and was forced to sell the property before its completion. The house was neglected and eventually largely demolished around 1930. Legend has it that the stones were used in the construction of Elphinstone Hall.
