Former lifeboat station, constructed in 1884 to replace former lifeboat house demolished circa 1883 to make way for railway. The building is rectangular, single storey, and 3-bay, constructed of rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings. It is in the style of Buckie architect William Hendry. It has a wide east facing gable entrance now masked by heavy sliding door. The gable above is defined by a moulded string course with centre projecting canted 3-light oriel, flanked by moulded ashlar casings for plaques (now removed) linked to the string course. The former painted pottery plaques were dated, initialled with the lifeboat insignia, RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), decorated with crown, foliage, oarsmen in souwesters rowing a lifeboat and had fleurs-de-lis detailing. These plaques were removed prior to 2008 and had been a rare survival, with no other examples known in Moray. The crowstepped gable above has a apex ball finial. There are moulded wallheads to the long elevations and a slated roof with a red pottery ridge.
