The present owner of the building (Captain S Taylor, Sandside House) believes that part of the S end of the house pre-dates 1751, although a specific date is not known. The exterior of this early phase is masked by the later reconstructions and alterations.
Visited by OS (J B) 8 September 1981.

The first Lord Reay, created in 1628, built a house at Sandside, but present building bears date 1751, and has considerable additions made to it since then. It is a large plain square-looking family mansion of no architectural beauty, the property of the Duke of Portland. The rectangular ice-house (at NC 9573 6551) is of 18th - 19th century date.
