Details Lodge, in use as part of the Dr Gray's Hospital complex, built by William Reid in 1887, probably using a William Robertson design. It is first shown on the 2nd edition OS map as a T-plan building to the south of Gray's Hospital (NJ26SW0435). Current OS maps show later alterations. It is a classical, single-storey three-bay lodge, with an advanced centre pedimented portico and pedimented gables (facing Pluscarden Road and Hospital). It is constructed from finely hammered ashlar, with polished ashlar dressings. All the windows have moulded lugged architraves, and there is an eaves cornice. To the rear are single-storey, coursed rubble additions.
