House of Memsie (also known as Mesmie House) is a Category A listed[3] 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]
