In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Relugas like this:
Relugas, a mansion in Edinkillie parish, Elginshire, on an eminence between the confluent Divie and Findhorn, 3½ miles NNW of Dunphail station, this being 8½ miles S by W of Forres, under which there is a post office of Relugas. Occupying a romantic site, and surrounded by pleasure-grounds of singular beauty, it is a picturesque, irregular edifice, in the cottage ornée style. ...
Its oldest part bears date 1785, and a large addition was made about 1828. The estate belonged for two centuries to the Cumins, whose heiress, Miss Charles Anne Cumin, in 1808 married her third cousin, Sir Thomas Dick-Lauder, Bart. (1784-1848), author of the Moray Floods, etc. It was sold in 1847 to W. M'Killigin, Esq., and again in 1852 to G. R. Smith, Esq., whose daughter-in-law, Mrs Smith, holds 1034 acres in the shire, valued at £486 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 84, 1876. Remilton, a village in Abdie parish, NW Fife, 7 furlongs ESE of Newburgh.
