Gazebo, still in use, built in the mid to late 19th century. It is shown on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps to the south-east of its present location, and was removed and reconstructed in its present location in circa 2002. It is a single-storey, octagonal-plan rustic gazebo with a tall swept roof overhanging to form a shelter, located to the south of the Huntly Arms Hotel (NO59NW0107). It is a vertically boarded cabin with latticed-leaded fixed-pane windows. Rustic timber quoins and columns support the grey slate swept octagonal roof, which has lead ridges and a timber finial. There are decorative panels to each face of the roof depicting the heart, spade, club and diamond motifs of a deck of playing cards, referring to the laird and the hotelier who were in the habit of gambling together.
