Forglen House, two miles north-west of Turriff, is a substantial early-Victorian baronial mansion of about 1839, designed for the Abercromby family by the Edinburgh architect Archibald Simpson. The house has the full kit of Scots-baronial features — crow-stepped gables, corner turrets with conical roofs, carved heraldry — and stands in a wooded estate above the river Deveron.
The house is private (not open to the public) but the estate's walks, including a long avenue and the policies along the river, can be followed on the right-of-way that links Turriff to the village of Forglen. The 13th-century Forglen Kirk in the village, with its ruined arched windows in the kirkyard, is one of the earlier medieval church survivals in this area and worth combining with the walk.
