By 1853, Howe o'Buchan was the home of Thomas Walker, one of four brothers whose family had originated at Waulkmill and Bankhead in New Aberdour who between them owned the neighbouring estates of Richmond, Balmore, Grange and Howe o'Buchan. When Peterhead railway station opened, the water needed for the engines was pumped from Howe o'Buchan.[3][4]
The inscription above a door. Its origin, and whether or not it relates to the house, is unknown
