Site of a farmstead depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading, open to the east, with an attached horsemill on the north side, and two rectangular buildings to northeast and southeast of the north wind. East of the south wing is a garden enclosure. By the time of the 2nd edition the southern rectangular building had been joined to the steading. The farmhouse dates from the late 18th century and is a simple 2-storey, 3-bay house rectangular in plan with a pitched slate roof and unevenly spaced windows. It has a porch (formerly a 2-seater lavatory), coped chimneys and now has a kennel at the west gable. Most recently used as the MacRobert experimental farm. A photographic survey was carried out by Headland Archaeology in December 2012 ahead of work associated with the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. Two stone extensions and a garage have been added. At the time of survey it was used by an agricultural college. Demolished ahead of development of a business park.
