Steading; dated 1865. Single storey and loft E-plan range, NW
facing with courtyards infilled (slightly later?) with
covered cattle courts. Harl pointed rubble with tooled ashlar
dressings. Centre range with paired segmental-headed cart
bays with pronounced keystones and loft door in centre. Apex
bellcote (bell missing) with datestone in base and cast-iron weathervane. Flanking cattle courts with similar wide
entrances; ridge vents to both courts and flanking ranges;
ridge and end stacks; slate roof.
To rear of steading an unusual low octagonal structure seemingly designed for use as both a henhouse and dovecote. 4-paned windows placed below eaves level, dovecote flight-holes in gablets. Also rubble, with facetted slate roof, and perhaps also dating from 1865.
Stands slightly SE of former Foyer House (demolished; seat
of Frasers of Foyers). Interesting hen-house/dovecote sited
to rear of steading probably also dating from 1865; in poor
condition and not included in listing.
