History
In 1840 farmlands at West Seaton were owned by the trustees[1] of Thomas Renny Strachan of Tarry[2] who was a descendant of Sir David Carnegie of Kinnaird. The trustees engaged the Dundee-based architect David MacKenzie I,[3] who was regarded as a very competent Gothic designer,[3][4] to produce plans and specifications for a house to be called West Seaton Farmhouse. Estimates for completing the house were sought via an advertisement in the Dundee, Perth and Cupar Advertiser dated 22 May 1840.[citation needed]
