John Dundas of Manour
The exact location of the new house is disputed. It could have stood on the elevated ground known as Airthrey Castle Yard, or it could have been further to the east, close to the Pathfoot Standing Stone.
John Dundas cultivated a kitchen garden, but was not really interested in country pursuits. He devoted his time to his books instead, which eventually resulted in his selling of the estate in 1759.
