Remains of a mansion and site of a manor. Old Tonley House, also known as Kincraigie, is now a narrow rectangular ruin of uncertain date, but probably of 18th and 19th Century date. It is largely built of boulder rubble with chamfered lower jambs of door one of the few architectural features remaining. The roofless later house remains survive to gable height. A pocket baronial mansion of two storeys. The main front has five bays with a projecting half-round entrance tower corbelled to square with crow-stepped gables. An angle turret leads round to gabled west front with prominent stone dormer heads. There are 1829 additions by John Smith, and 1890s partial rebuilding by A. Marshall Mackenzie. Estate sold in 1947 and house became derelict in the 1950s. A railway carriage sits outside the house today. Possible site of an earlier house. A gardeners house and the walled garden remain. The garden of circa 18th Century date is of irregular plan with a north wall of pinned course rubble with a wide segmental arch at the centre. Remains of a designed landscape surround the house.
