Haddo House 
This mansion (10mi/16km southeast of Fyvie) was designed in 1731 for the second Earl of Aberdeen by William Adam, father of the talented Adam brothers. In 1880 Wright and Mansfield renovated the furnishings in "Adam Revival" style. The elegant stucco and delicate pastel shades are typical of Robert Adam's interiors. The valuable paintings include Batonis' portrait of Lord Haddo (on the staircase), two van Dycks (in the Saloon) and several watercolors of Aberdeenshire castles (in the Giles Room), painted by James Giles for the fourth earl as book illustrations. The Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones was responsible for the east window in the chapel.
