Another brother, Thomas Erskine, was a famed forensic lawyer. Henry Erskine himself was also a famous lawyer – he twice became Lord Advocate. He started building Almondell in 1790 to his own eccentric design. It was a disastrous enterprise, but he loved the setting which we enjoy today, although we have the additional benefit of the trees in their splendid maturity.

Mathematician, astronomer, antiquarian and scholar, the Earl of Buchan constructed a scale model of the solar system in and around the grounds of Kirkhill House in 1776. The model consisted of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Earth and its moon, Mars, Jupiter and its four moons, and Saturn with its rings and five moons. Mars is now known to have two moons, Jupiter eleven moons and Saturn nine, and since the construction of the model the planets Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and more bodies have been discovered. Even bearing this in mind, the model was extraordinarily accurate.
