Former corn and meal mill and millhouse. The mill has an 18th century datestone, now detached, and has been raised in height but is now gutted of workings. The millhouse, to the north, (Category B-listed) is early 17th century, dated at the northwest skew (1609), and was formerly a girnal (granary). Original openings, where surviving, are in sandstone, chamfered and barred. Straight skews with St Andrews crosses in sunk relief at the skewputts. The mid-19th century remodelling added dormers, a central door with steps (on east elevation) and a consoled cornice at attic floor level which forms a gutter. Single-storey cottages attached to the south. A further single-storey building lies to the west, possibly a worker’s cottage or bothy with steading, depicted on the 1st edition OS map with a small enclosed garden to the south. The remains of the lade and dam are located along the south bank of the burn and continue under the road to the west. Survey of the lade was carried out by Headland Archaeology in 2012 ahead of the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. The lade did not carry water at the time of the survey, and the western part of was largely obscured by vegetation. The eastern end, where it is channelled between an outbuilding and the road, survives as a rough ditch 0.3 - 0.35 m deep and between 0.4 m and 1 m wide, revetted with stone in places.
