Large circular type, perhaps 1821. Squared granite rubble with
pinnings, plain belt course half way up, triangular opening:
square headed doorway. Gutted, formerly had lead dome, brick
and stone boxes.
Of Strichen House built 1818-21 to designs by John Smith of
Aberdeen for Lord Lovat only the shell remains, less the N.W.
bow and the S.W. portico which have been demolished completely.
There is a small circular plain rubble hermitage N.W. of the
house said to have borne date T.R. 1580 now roofless, no special features; and a plain walled garden to the E. The stone circle
mentioned in Dr. Johnson's Tour has been demolished. The mains
is now largely Sleigh's work but has old coped chimneys.
