Statement of Interest

Easter Buckie (land E of the Buckie Burn) purchased by 1759

by John Gordon, 1st of Cluny, sometime Curator to Duke of

Gordon with special responsibility for the Spey fishings

and a merchant in Edinburgh. His eldest son, Cosmo (born

Bellie Parish 1736, died 1800) inherited the Buckie lands

on his father's death in 1769 and concerned with the

property, leaving the Edinburgh interests to his brother

Charles Gordon of Braid. Cosmo was appointed a Baron of

Exchequer by Lord North and Known as 'Baron' Gordon

thereafter. Either he or his father built Cluny Lodge

(orginally called Buckie Lodge). Cosmo died without an

heir. House said to have been divided into 2 dwellings

(probably during 19th century), 1 served by the now

blocked door in N gable.
