Farmhouse, still in use, and the remains of a garden house and steading. They are built on the site of, and re-use material from, Lundie Castle. The castle was supposedly erected by Sir John Campbell of Lundie in the earlier 16th century and was in ruins by 1823. The farmstead and associated buildings were built in the late 18th century, and the castle was demolished around the early-19th century. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a Z-plan farmhouse with a quadrangular steading to the east, with L-plan ranges extending from the north and east, and a horse-mill at the north-east corner. To the south of the steading is a long, shallow L-plan garden house. On the 2nd edition OS map, the steading has been almost entirely removed, with two small rectangular buildings being all that remains. The garden house has been reduced in size to a rectangular building, and there is a new L-plan building to the north of the farmhouse. Current maps show one of the two buildings from the steading has been removed. There were major renovations to the farmhouse in the 1970s. It is a two-storey and attic harled rubble farmhouse, with a single-storey addition to the front south elevation. There are coped skews and skew blocks and coped end stacks to the slate roof. There is an open round-arched porch in the re-entrant angle of the south elevation. There are grotesque mask corbel stones on the north elevation. The garden house is a single-storey rubble-built building. The roof has collapsed and it is heavily overgrown. The north elevation has an inset datestone 'AD 1683', and there is a door lintel dated '1683' to the south. The initials 'AD' probably refers to Alexander Duncan of Lundie and Ann Drummond of Megginch, husband and wife. A coped rubble wall adjoins the east and west gables.
