The Borthwick family are said to have lived on the estate of Harvieston before they built Borthwick Castle, circa 1430. According to the Statistical Account the ruin of the castle was by the side of Gore Water which runs to the NW of the estate. Harvieston was the home of George Trotter Cranstoun of Dewar around 1750, when it was a building "of moderate size, with very thick walls, and having the lower part arched" (Small). It was altered in the later 19th century by Mr. Brown of Currie, and then again at the beginning of this century. From 1985 it was known as St. Aidan's and was used by the Roman Catholic Church as a training school for boys. It is presently divided up into flats (1997).
