Octagonal lodge, built in the late 19th century, with later additions, on the site of an earlier tollhouse. The first tollhouse on the site was an L-plan building, depicted on the 1st edition OS map. By the 2nd edition OS map, this building had been replaced by the present octagonal structure - the old Bridge of Dee (NO19SE0009), built in the 18th century to carry a military road over the River Dee, was superseded in 1859 thus the tollhouse was no longer required. The present building is a single storey octagonal lodge, with a later extension to rear, built of squared and coursed granite with polished dressings. On the west elevation is a panelled door with pilastered jambs and a letterbox fanlight. A piend-roofed extension from the opposite long face to rear was added circa 1990. Each remaining chamfered face has a window, those to north and south with piend-roofed, slate-hung dormers, with timber bipartite windows. The design of the octagonal lodge is attributed to Sir Robert Rowand Anderson. Also known as Invercauld Lodge/Tollhouse and Threepenny'Bit Cottage.
