Details Coastguard station and cottages, still in use, enclosed by a wall. The coastguard station was built in circa 1807, and is a southwest facing 2-storey, 3-bay house, with a continuous lower 2-storey, 2-bay wing at the northwest gable. It is linked to a circa 1860 equipment store at the southeast gable by a short wall. It has a centre door with a rectangular fanlight, and another entrance in the southeast gable. There is regular fenestration at the front, and at the rear there are three windows in the first floor, but small lights only in the ground floor, 12-pane glazing is used. It has broad coped end stacks and a slate roof, and a piended slate roof to the northwest wing. The store to the southeast is constructed from tooled rubble, with tooled ashlar dressings, all whitewashed. There are two windows in the long southwest seaward elevation, and a wide entrance in the southeast gable with double-leaf plank doors and a glazed oculus above. It has a coped end stack and a slate roof. Immediately northwest of the wall enclosure is a lookout, set into the rampart of the Pictish fort (NJ16NW0001 - including excavation 2015-17 within the gardens of cottages).
