Cottage, still in use, built in the mid 19th century, and associated 'wee house' built in the late 19th century. 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 constructed from granite rubble, and local knowledge suggests the cottage was built with stones from Kindrochit Castle (NO19SE0001). There are deep eaves with projecting rafters and a graded grey slate roof with gable stacks and thackstanes. The principal north-east elevation is symmetrical, with a central two-leaf timber boarded door, a pair of gable dormers breaking the eaves and a single traditional roof light between. The wee house to the south-west is parallel to the cottage. It is single-storey and constructed partly from rubble and partly from timber. There are two widely spaced timber boarded doors to the north-east, and the south-west elevation is weatherboarded with two non-traditional windows. The corrugated-iron roof has a pipe flue to the west gable.
