How can you find out if there are any records kept from an estate in Scotland I am trying to find any information on inveramsay estate in the chapel of garioch Aberdeenshire Scotland owned by Patrick Irvine around the 1800 era thanks

My Frasers lived on a farm called Rescivet where a number of other people seemed to live too
I think it was one farm of four that made up the estate of Inveramsay in Scotland
Legstsden being another
Residing there were also moirs Alexander's Ross and Mckenzie's as far as I can find
Was wondering how u find out who would have owned these farms and when they were built or occupied
Can find no rent tax paid for tenant farmers to anyone and very little information about the buildings
I think the house is still standing (Resthivet cottage)
Thank you
