Sea Park, then known as Eunies Crook, was granted to William Ellison and Janet Niven his wife in 1574 by the Abbot of Kinloss and remained in their family until 1800. It then became the property of James Rose until 1829, when he sold it to Frederick Suter; after this it was purchased in 1838 by John Dunbar who made money in shipping; he further enlarged the house, leaving it to his sister Phoebe on his death in 1845. She had married Edward Dunbar and took the name Dunbar Dunbar. During the Dunbar ownership the house and gardens were developed, a small museum established and an organ installed. House now divided as flats.
