Gamekeepers bothy and kennels, still in use, built in 1884 by Walker and Beattie to the north-east of Ballogie House (NO59NE0065). It is a single-bay, single-storey and attic bothy with a pair of three-bay single-storey kennels flanking. It is a harl-pointed coursed granite rubble building with long and short dressings, long and short quoins, overhanging eaves, boarded timber doors with two-pane fanlights. Predominantly six-pane timber sash and case windows are used, and the grey slate roof has a tiled ridge, a coped granite ridge stack with octagonal cans and cast-iron rainwater goods. The near-symmetrical south principal elevation has the gabled bay of the bothy advanced to the centre, with a window flanked by two vertical windows to the ground floor and a bipartite window set in the gablehead of the attic floor. Three-bay, gambrel-roofed, kennels flank to both sides, which have a window to the centre flanked to each side by a door, skylights to the attic, a round-ended double run advanced to the outer bays, a low cement-faced wall with pointed coping surmounted by looped cast-iron railings, and a gate to each run. The asymmetrical north elevation has a gabled bothy bay to the centre with a boarded timber door and two-pane fanlight, flanked to the west by a window at the ground floor, with a window set in the gablehead of the attic floor. The two-bay kennel flanks to the west, with two boarded timber openings. The east elevation has a blank bothy wall with the kennels advanced to the north that have a single boarded opening to the centre, and the roof is swept down to the outer north. The west elevation is blank. Photographic recording was carried out in 2018 ahead of proposed development.
