Remains of fishing temple, or pavilion, now roofless and overgrown, built by William Adam in circa 1741. It is a two-stage round fishing temple, on an island in the River Deveron to the south of Duff House (NJ66SE0007). The temple is constructed from polished ashlar, with raised and moulded architraves, lugged door surrounds, a base course, band course, and a moulded cornice. A horseshoe stair with moulded treads and simple wrought-iron balustrade leads to a doorway of the principal upper stage, in an advanced pedimented bay. There is also a doorway below at the ground under the steps. Opposite is a further advanced pedimented bay. The principal stage has four tall windows, with smaller windows below. There is a moulded, corniced ashlar stack, with clasping vase-shaped flues. Inside are two basket-arched fireplaces, that to the upper stage with finely roll-moulded arrises.
