Statement of Interest

Bryce was commissioned in 1841 to design the mansion

around a long, low, narrow earlier house, by George

Sligo, a relation of Bryce's later client at Inzievar

House, Dunfermline. John Watson Laidlay commissioned the

enlargement in 1850. The Baronial style was polularised

by Burn and Bryce, and Seacliffe demonstrated the

specifically Brycian variant of the style. The house was

destroyed by fire in the 20th century, but the stables

and service cottage remain, the latter (Seacliffe

Cottage) is listed separately. Auldhame and Scoughall

were part of the Seacliffe estate.
