The current incarnation of Ury House is a ruined large mansion built in the Elizabethan style in 1885 by Alexander Baird. It is situated about a mile north of Stonehaven, a town in Aberdeenshire (historic Kincardineshire) on the North-East coast of Scotland. Originally the estate belonged to the Frasers, then the Hays starting in 1413, but eventually property of the Earl Marischal; over the years Ury has been rebuilt three times. [1] In early times the property was known as Urie. In the 17th century Ury was established as the North East Scotland headquarters of the Quaker organisation by David Barclay.

This is what she used to look like

A lot of the floor beams are still in place, holding the building together but occasionally you'd see one that had fallen, I thought this was was pretty weird.
