Strichen House
Strichen House stood to the south west of the village of the same name. It was an elegant building in the Grecian style with a portico of fluted Doric columns. It was erected by Lord Lovat in 1821.

In the 15th century, the estate belonged to a family of the name of Chalmers. In 1558, it passed to the Philorth family and in 1591 to the Lovat family.

Lord Lovat sold it in 1855 to Mr. George Baird of Gartsherrie. A later tenant of the house was Mr. Archibald White Maconochie (1855-1926), businessman and member of parliament for East Aberdeenshire from 1900 to 1906.
