Statement of Interest

Byres and former stables grouped around small square court at

N end of barn not included in listing. There is a blocked

door with re-used (?17th century) moulded jambs in this

court.

Slates on barn probably came from Slateheugh quarry on the S

side of the Hill of Maud. Tuskers for securing thatch very

unusual survival in Moray.

Rannas was the ancestral home of the Hay's of Rannas. Andrew

Hay, the last of the line, died in 1789, after which the

property was bought by the Earl of Seafield.

Barn and implement shed only included in listing.
