Statement of Interest

Sea Park, then known as Eunies Crook, was granted to William

Ellison and Janet Niven his wife in 1574 by the Abbot of

Kinloss and remained in their family until 1800. It then

became the property of James Rose until 1829, when he sold it

to Frederick Suter; after this it was purchased in 1838 by

John Dunbar who made money in shipping; he further enlarged

the house, leaving it to his sister Phoebe on his death in

1845. She had married Edward Dunbar and took the name Dunbar

Dunbar. During the Dunbar ownership the house and gardens

were developed, a small museum established and an organ

installed.

House now divided as flats.
