Once a splendid mansion, the house was the ancestral home to the Vaus, later Vans Agnews of Sheucan until it was tragically burned to a shell in 1941.
The last family members to live in Barnbarroch house were Colonel John Vans Agnew (who was born in the house before leaving to serve his country as a youngster) and his wife Ada Vans Agnew (nee Ada Sybil Bates).
The couple were married in India in 1891 and returned to Barnbarroch house where they had at least four servants and a gardener.
