Archaeological investigations undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in the grounds of Hunters Hall Park, Niddrie, have revealed material evidence of the Niddrie Estate, the seat of the Wauchopes of Niddrie Marischal from at least 1406. Following the destruction of Niddrie Marischal House in 1959, the estate area was covered by housing development, resulting in the almost total loss of the landscape and setting of the former estate. The excavations recorded features and structures of a now lost 18th-century designed landscape. Additionally, evidence of late medieval and early post-medieval activity that pre-dated the expansion of the Wauchopes' estate was identified.
