Details Former manse, now in use as a hotel, built in 1805 with additions and alterations by A and W Reid of Elgin in 1867. It is a two-storey, three-bay manse with an attic and raised basement, with a one-bay addition to the east and a rear wing added in 1867. The building is constructed from squared and coursed sandstone rubble with galleting, stugged ashlar dressings, stone mullions to bipartites, a grey slate roofs, purple to the later wing, ashlar coped skews with moulded skewputts and coped stacks with decorative cans. The south elevation has stone steps with a wrought-iron balustrade to the doorway at the principal floor, enlarged to tripartite with small-pane glazing to the lights and fanlight. The Inner door is half-border-glazed with a margined strip fanlight. Later bipartites flank, and there are three windows at the first floor. There is a bipartite to each floor of the later wing to the east. The west elevation has two doorways to the basement and a piended dormer to the attic. To the west there are three single-storey, gabled outbuildings forming a courtyard, with a piend-roofed store at the centre. A fourth building is shown on the 2nd edition OS map, which has since been removed. The garden is enclosed with ashlar-coped rubble walls.
