House of Memsie (also known as Mesmie House) is a Category A listed3 country house and estate in Memsie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It dates to around 1760, and it received its historic designation in 1971.1 It was formerly the home of the Fraser family for over three hundred years.4 It was sold to Lord Saltoun in the early 19th century.4 A Captain Dalrymple was another previous owner.5 Historian Charles McKean describes it as a "smaller and more decorative version of Aberdour House".6
