In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Lethen like this:
Lethen House, an 18th century mansion in Auldearn parish, Nairnshire, near the left bank of the Muckle Burn, 5 miles SE of Nairn. Comprising a large three-story centre, with lower wings, and with beautifully wooded grounds, it is the seat of Alexander Brodie, Esq. (b. 1876; suc. 1880), who holds 22,378 acres in Nairn and 1304 in Elgin shires, valued at £4947 and £1121 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 84, 1876.
Lethen is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Lethen itself, go to Statistics.
