Lodge, still in use, built in 1859 by Watson (carpenter), Innes (slater), Farquhar and Gill (plumber), Mitchell (plasterer) and Beaton (mason). It is the east lodge to Balmoral Castle (NO29NE0023), and is a single-storey and attic, three-bay inner lodge constructed from stugged, coursed granite with a base course, polished margins, corbel course to slightly jettied first floor. There are timber mullions and transoms to sash and case windows with large square-pane glazing, and the graded grey slate roof has crowstepped gables with bracketed skewputts, coped gablehead and ridge stacks and a lead ridge. The south-west elevation has a stone porch projecting at the centre with a pointed-arch doorway and two-leaf panelled doors. On the return to the west is a pointed-arch window, and the parapet has attenuated ball finials to the outer angles. To the south is an advanced, gabled bay with a cross window at the ground and a hoodmoulded tripartite in the gablehead. The bay to the outer east has a cross window. The north-east elevation has a projecting, flat-roofed block to the east, with a former door at the centre, blocked as window, with flanking windows, a blind arrowslit to the outer east and a door with a letterbox fanlight to the outer north. A gabled bay to the east has a cross window at the ground and in the gablehead. The south-east elevation has a slightly advanced gabled bay at the centre with a ground floor tripartite window and a cross window in the gablehead. The north-west elevation has a raised chimneybreast at the centre, flanked at the ground and in the gablehead by glazed arrowslit windows. The advanced return of a flat-roofed rear projection is blank with three blind gunloops and a parapet. There is a decorative timber latticed garden fence.
