Shooting lodge, still in use, and a former deer larder. The lodge was built for the Earl of Dalhousie by Wardrop and Brown of Edinburgh, architects, in 1852, with later 19th century additions in the same style. Queen Victoria stayed overnight in September 1861. The former larder was probably built in the late-19th century. The lodge is depicted on the 1st edition OS map as an irregular Z-plan building. On the 2nd edition OS map, it is depicted as an irregular h-plan building, with two rectangular buildings to the west, the larger of the two being the deer larder. Current maps show a rectangular garden enclosure to the south of the lodge. The deer larder is annotated as a chalet, and there is a square building to the north of it. The other rectangular building shown on the 2nd edition OS map has been replaced or divided into two smaller buildings. The lodge is predominantly two-storey and basement, with some lower single-storey and attic sections. It is constructed of squared, coursed granite, with polished granite ashlar dressings. There is a U-plan service court at the west end. It is multi-gabled, and there is a conical-roofed tower that has the lower part obscured by later additions, but once sat at the north-east corner of the lodge. There is a gabled timber porch to the north elevation, containing a timber-panelled front door. There is a balcony-verandah on the principal block, with flanking canted bay windows and a sandstone staircase leading to the centre of the balcony. The fenestration is slightly irregular. There are deep bracketed eaves and gabled dormers, with ball and spike finials to most of the gables and dormers. The roofs are from graded Scottish slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods. The former deer larder is a single-storey, four-bay building with a piended roof. There is an encircling painted tree-trunk columned veranda. It is constructed from roughly dressed granite rubble, with red sandstone ashlar long and short quoins. There are several timber-boarded doors, and a mixture of conventionally-proportioned windows and slit windows. The roof is of Welsh slate and has metal flashing. There are three louvred vents to the roof ridge. See (NO48SW0030) for associated kennels to the south-west and (NO48SW0033) for the stables to the east.
