Cottage, still in use, built in the later 19th century, and an associated 'wee house' added in circa 1890. In response to the increased tourism during the 19th century, the residents of Braemar built 'wee houses' in their gardens to live in during the summer season so they were able to let their cottages to visitors to the area. The main cottage is single-storey and attic and three-bay. It is harled, and has a slate roof with gable stacks. The principal east elevation is symmetrical, with a central four-leaf panelled door with stained glass upper panels, a dentilled cornice and a rectangular light above worded 'DAISY BANK'. There is a pair of piended and canted dormers to the attic, a cat slide dormer to the west (rear) elevation and a later lean-to. The interior is barely altered, having two rooms over two with a central stair aligned with the length of the building and an alcove that was probably for a box bed in the kitchen. Bell pushes still remain in situ throughout the cottage, with a bell box in the kitchen. The timber wee house is adjoined to the north gable of the main cottage. It is a single-storey, four-bay, flush weatherboarded wee house with an off-centre door in the principal east elevation and flanking timber sash and case windows with a further window to the north. The west elevation has three doors and a window, and there is a single door and small window to the south elevation. It has a corrugated iron roof with a central brick stack. The interior retains all internal panelling with a range still in situ. To the south of the wee house is a wash house with original sinks and a late 19th century cast iron washing tub that bears the inscription 'FALKIRK' and has panels of animals heads, cast by John Hardy's at the Falkirk Ironworks.
