Fordie was a possible tower which was later replaced by the 17th to 19th century mansion of Lawers.

The lands of Fordie were one of five constituent parts of the old estate of Monzievaird along with Clathick, Ochtertyre and Monzievaird itself. The name Lawers was given to the estate by the Campbells in the late 16th century, named after their barony of Lawers on the north side of Loch Tay.

In 1596 Colin Campbell, second son of Sir John Campbell of Lawers, was granted the lands of Aberuchill.

A new house was built in the 17th century which was extended and remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries.
