Late 19th century polygonal dairy and associated cottage, and site of a hunting lodge (New Mar Lodge) and other buildings depicted on OS 1st edition map. Most of the earlier buildings appear to have been removed by the time of the 2nd edition, by which time several new buildings has been added included the dairy, an ice-house and what is now Mar House. All are enclosed by a head dyke and there are a series of trackways through the woods surrounding them. In the 19th century the site became the main focus of the Mar Lodge Estate, with the abandonment of Old Mar Lodge (NO08NE0003). The hunting lodge, sometimes also referred to as Corriemulzie Cottage, survived as Mar Lodge until destroyed by fire in 1895 after which a third Mar Lodge was built close to the site of the original. The dairy is a single storey polygonal building, with lined out harled timber lath. Internally the dairy retains its stone flag floor and slate work benches. Single storey square-plan ancillary building adjoined to east by open timber corridor adjoins the dairy. This building has shelving for storage. The cottage is single storey and 3-bay, weatherboarded with painted timber diamond lattice screen to north and east elevations. It is 2-roomed and retains original panelling. The cottage and dairy have a very distinctive appearance in terms of their form and materials used. As well as being the only buildings to survive from this second estate complex, these buildings also display traditional features of the area, and retain much of their original character. The use of weatherboarding and diamond lattice work is also a particular feature of the buildings of this period on the Mar Estate.
