Former Police Station, now in use as a shop and house, built in the mid-19th century in the style of A and W. Reid, Elgin, with re-used earlier material and early 20th century additions. It is a two-storey, six-bay building, with a regular five-bay frontage with the east bay slightly set back, and is constructed from grey granite ashlar. The principal elevation has a centre door, flanked by round-headed windows. The outer west bay has a round-headed pend, closed by a double leaf plank door. The outer west answering bay is as a slightly recessed arcade with window. The first floor has regular fenestration, using four-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. There are quoins, a wallhead cornice and blocking course raised in the centre to the principal five-bay facade, and a slate roof.
