history
It was Arthur Hay Drummond , the third son of Thomas Hay-Drummond, 11th Earl of Kinnoull , who built Cromlix House in 1874. The well-known Scottish architecture firm Brown and Wardrop or Wardrop and Reid (depending on whether the planning was completed before or after Brown's death in the same year) was responsible for the design. A fire devastated the villa just five years later. The present Cromlix House was built in 1880. Between 1900 and 1903 the building was significantly expanded. In 1908 the future British Queen Edward VIII visited Cromlix House. Today Cromlix House houses a hotel of the same name.

The two- to three-story Cromlix House is largely isolated around one kilometer northwest of Kinbuck. Originally, only two floors, Cromlix House was in the course of expanding partially increased . Stylistically, the building architecture does not follow a clear style, but shows borrowings from the Scottish Baronial . The masonry consists of irregularly worked, red sandstone that has been processed into layered masonry . There are details made of cream-colored sandstone. The windows along the façades are twins or triplets coupled and designed with stone jambs. The crenellated entrance area emerges from the east-facing main facade. Next to it is the chapel with a round apse .
