Cottage, still in use, built in the later 19th century, and an associated 'wee house' to the south-east. In response to the increased tourism during the 19th century, the residents of Braemar built 'wee houses' in their gardens to live in during the summer season so they were able to let their cottages to visitors to the area. The main cottage is single-storey and attic and three-bay. It iis constructed from pink granite rubble with tooled dressings and a purple slate roof with bracketed eaves, gable stacks and a cat slide roof to a lean-to to the north elevation. The principal south elevation is symmetrical, and has a central four-leaf, panelled door with the upper panels glazed and a dentilled cornice with a simple plate glass fanlight above. There is a pair of piended and canted dormers to attic. The interior has been modernised, but the original room plan is discernible, with a stair rising in the centre aligned with the length of building and service bells still in situ in kitchen. The 'wee house' is a single storey, five-bay, weatherboarded timber, slate roofed, asymmetrical building. It has a pair of off-centre timber boarded doors and a further boarded timber door to the other side flanked by four-pane timber sash and case windows.
