Home farm of Cortachy Castle (NO35NE0001), built in the second half of the 18th century. The OS 1st edition OS map shows a U-plan steading, open to the South-West. Facing it is a smaller U-plan stables, open to the North-East, with a rectangular building within the opening. To the North-East of the steading is an L-plan building, and a small rectangular structure. The layout is largely unchanged on the 2nd edition OS map, although there have been a number of additions to the steading, including a building on the south-west side of the court, covering roughly half the opening. The rectangular building by the L-plan building to the North has also gone. The later 1922 OS map shows further additions within the court of the larger steading, inside the North-East wing, and a small rectangular building has been added to the North. There have also been a few small buildings added across the opening of the stables. The two-storey stables (Listed Grade B) has a classic south-West front with arched pend and pedimented central bay with a pyramidal roof. The elevation is flanked with square towers, also with pyramidal roofs. There is an armorial stone with the remains of a date from the 1710s, with the last number illegible, which sits above a stone dated 1908. The larger steading to the North-East is built in a similar style, with square angle towers that have pyramidal roofs, and a central pend to the North-West wing. It is mostly single-storey, but there is a three-bay two-storey section to the centre of the South-East wing. The North-East wing has mostly been replaced with two large rectangular barns, oriented North-East/South-West. The L-plan building to the North-East remains. There is an 18th century former butler's house to the north-east (NO35NE0123).
