Lodge, still in use, built in circa 1890 to the north of Dinnet House (NO49NW0047) with kennels nearby (NO49NW0117). Originally cruciform-plan, it was extended to the west in the later 20th century. The East Lodge (NO49NE0142) is the only lodge of the two known to have been built by A Marshall Mackenzie, but while less ornate this building is of a fine quality and shares some of the interesting detail seen at East Lodge The building is a single-storey and attic, three-bay lodge house with finialled crowstepped gables and a bowed entrance bay, corbelled to square at the gabled first floor. It is constructed from large granite blocks with contrasting pointing, a base course, a string course to the corbelled attic gable, a moulded doorpiece, a canted window with a swept polygonal roof, stone mullions and chamfered reveals with a nine- and eight-pane glazing pattern over plate glass in timber non-traditional top-hung windows. The grey slate roof has coped ashlar stacks with cans, ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts and cast iron rainwater goods. The entrance elevation to the east faces the drive and incorporates a bowed centre bay with a boarded timber door, a plate glass fanlight and pilastered jambs. There are flanking corbels and a window in the gablehead above, further windows to set-back flanking bays and a canted window in the crowstepped gable.
