Stracathro House is a fine A-listed Palladian-style mansion, overlooking the Cruick Water.
In 1775, the Stracathro Estate, which extended to almost 800 hectares (2,000 acres), was bought by Patrick Cruickshank who had made his fortune in Jamaica.
His brother, Alexander inherited the property and employed the Aberdeen-based architect Archibald Simpson (1790–1847) to build the house between 1824–27, together with a deer-park and gardens.
In 1874, the house and estate was purchased by Sir James Campbell (1790–1876), Lord Provost of Glasgow and father of Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman (1836–1908).

Stracathro House was requisitioned by the government in 1938 but reverted to private ownership following its sale by Tayside Health Board in 2003.
It is being refurbished as a family home.
Cottages in the grounds are let as self-catering holiday accommodation.
