 Bruce may have built the curving wing-walls and pavilions to the north front, however, these have also been attributed to a later building phase.The estate was sold in 1684 to Sir Thomas Steuart, when Bruce moved to his new home at Kinross House.In 1698 it changed hands again, becoming the property of Sir Robert Anstruther, whose son Philip undertook works in the mid-18th century, including heightening the central block.
