This mid-19th century circular grotto building is built in the same exaggerated rubble style found in a number of 'Chuckie-stane' gates found in the locality. The grotto is a good example of a mid-19th century garden building of some pretension and is indicative of a local building style. Built entirely of rubble, with a stone roof. At eaves level is a projecting string course rising to a pediment over the pointed-arch doorway.
Materials: schist and quartz rubble, timber boarded door. Leaded window.
Built in the grounds of Rhubeg, a seaside villa of c1844 built for wine merchant Elias Gibb. The grotto is probably of the same date.
