Full Description
Site of house. Founded by James Fraser in 1690, and described by Macfarlane (1723) as 'a large edifice of 40 ft sq. and a large mound on every corner with a pavilion roof. The upper storey of three being one roume of 40 ft square having four large chimneys and eight windows, and so many in each of the lower storeys with a coat-of-arms, weel cut for the lintels as the branches of the family. It lies about half a mile east of the church'. Now no trace. A dark roughly rectangular cropmark lies in the area where the house may have stood. A trackway or drive, showing as a cropmark, leads from it towards the north. OS (1967) noted that according to another source, Tyrie House stood within a field centred at NJ 936 632, but no trace remains. Some coping stones from the old house are built into Tyrie Mains.
