Ury House was a large mansion built in the Elizabethan style in 1885 by Alexander Baird. It is situated about a mile north of Stonehaven, a town in Kincardineshire on the North-East coast of Scotland.

Ury house used to be the HQ of the Quaker organisation in NE Scotland.

Today the house is derelict and entry is prohibited because of the dangerous state of the structure. There have been proposals for its restoration, but a 2004 planning application was rejected by the local Community Council.[1]
