'Vogrie (boggy place) lands were purchased by James Dewar in 1719. His descendant Lt Colonel Alexander Cumming Dewar built Vogrie House in 1876. The Royal Hospital for Nervous Disorders owned the Estate from 1923 -1963. Vogrie House was then used as the base of the Civil Defence Force until 1972. Vogrie was designated Scotland's second country park in 1982.'
