1853. Single storey T-plan rubble building with tooled rubble
dressings, sited on natural rocky platform with additional
rubble platform and landward causeway retained by low rubble
walls. High pointed headed boat entrance to west; building
lit by pointed-headed lancets of varying length; some blind
lancets and also blind pointed headed arch in near centre of
north elevation.
Projecting gabled wing near centre, south with pedestrian
entrances in SE and SW (blocked) re-entrant angles. Wide
opening in east gable boarded up. Slate roof; tiled ridge.
The boat house was one of the earliest of a long range of new
estate buildings initiated by Octavius Smith and later his
son Valentine.
The building was superseded by later boathouse further down
Loch Aline as, for it proved of use only to the smallest
boats at high tide.
