http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract The Pitfour Estate, in the Buchan area of The Pitfour Estate, in the Buchan area of North-East Scotland, was an ancient barony encompassing most of the extensive Longside Parish, stretching from St Fergus to New Pitsligo. It was purchased in 1700 by James Ferguson of Badifurrow, who became the first Laird of Pitfour. The estate was substantially renovated by Ferguson and the following two generations of his family. At the height of its development in the 18th and 19th centuries the 50-square-mile (130 km2) property had several extravagant features including a two-mile racecourse, an artificial lake and an observatory. The original mansion house was extended before being rebuilt. The surrounding parklands were landscaped, major renovations were undertaken, and follies such as a small replica Temple of Theseus were constructed, in which George Ferguson, the fifth laird, was thought to keep alligators in a cold bath. The first three lairds transformed the estate into a valuable asset. Lord Pitfour, the second laird, purchased additional lands including Deer Abbey and Inverugie Castle. Pitfour's son, James Ferguson, who became the third laird, continued to improve and expand the estate by adding the lake and bridges, and establishing planned villages. The third laird died a bachelor with no children, so the estate passed to the elderly George Ferguson, who was only in possession of the property for a few months. George was already a wealthy man, owning lands in Trinidad and Tobago, but despite not directly improving the Pitfour estate he added considerable value to the inheritance passed to his illegitimate son. The extravagant lifestyles of the fifth and sixth lairds led to the sequestration of the estate, which was sold off piecemeal to pay their debts. What remained of the estate was sold after the First World War. The mansion house was demolished in about 1926, and its stone used to build council houses in Aberdeen. In more recent times some of the remaining buildings, including the temple, the bridges and the stables, have been classified as at high risk by Historic Scotland because their condition has become poor. The chapel was fully renovated and converted to a private residence in 2003; the observatory was purchased and restored by Banff & Buchan District Council (now Aberdeenshire Council) and can be accessed by the public. The racecourse has been forested since 1926, and the lake is used by members of a private fishing club.used by members of a private fishing club. , Le domaine de Pitfour, dans la région de BLe domaine de Pitfour, dans la région de Buchan, au nord-est de l’Écosse, était une ancienne baronnie englobant la majeure partie de la paroisse de Longside, qui s'étendait de St Fergus à New Pitsligo. James Ferguson de Badifurrow, qui devint le premier Laird de Pitfour, acheta le domaine en 1700. Le domaine fut beaucoup rénové par Ferguson et les deux générations suivantes de sa famille. Au sommet du développement de cette propriété de cinquante milles carrés (130 km2) aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, elle possédait plusieurs caractéristiques extravagantes, parmi lesquelles un champ de courses de deux milles, un lac artificiel et un observatoire. Le manoir original fut agrandi avant d'être reconstruit. Les espaces verts environnants furent dessinés, des rénovations majeures furent entreprises, et des folies telle qu’une petite réplique de l’Héphaïstéion (dans lequel on croyait que George Ferguson, le cinquième laird gardait des alligators dans un bain froid) furent construites. Les trois premiers lairds transformèrent le domaine en un actif de grande valeur. Lord Pitfour, le deuxième laird, acheta des terrains supplémentaires parmi lesquels l’abbaye de Deer et le château d’Inverugie. Le fils de Pitfour, James Ferguson, qui devint le troisième laird, continua à améliorer et à développer le domaine en ajoutant le lac et des ponts, et en fondant des villages planifiés. Le troisième laird mourut célibataire et sans enfant, le domaine revint donc au vieux George Ferguson, qui ne fut en possession des biens que pendant quelques mois. George était déjà un homme fortuné qui possédait des terres en Trinité-et-Tobago, mais bien qu’il n’améliora pas le domaine directement, il ajouta un valoir considérable à l’héritage qui revint à son fils illégitime. Les modes de vie fastueux des cinquième et sixième lairds eurent pour effet la séquestration du domaine, qui fut vendu pour acquitter leurs dettes. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, le reste du domaine fut vendu. Vers 1926, Le manoir fut démoli et on utilisa ses pierres pour construire des maisons communales dans la municipalité à Aberdeen. Plus récemment, Historic Scotland a classé certains des bâtiments restants, y compris la réplique de l’Héphaïstéion, les ponts et les écuries, comme “à haut risque” à cause de leur condition délabrée. En 2003 la chapelle fut restaurée et convertie en résidence privée. Le Banff & Buchan District Council (maintenant Aberdeenshire Council) a acheté et restauré l’observatoire, qui est maintenant accessible au public. Le champ de courses est boisé depuis 1926, et le lac est utilisé par les membres d’un club de pêche privé. par les membres d’un club de pêche privé. , Pitfour House war ein Herrensitz nördlich Pitfour House war ein Herrensitz nördlich der Ortschaft Old Deer in Aberdeenshire (Schottland).
