Bellabeg House, 1765, overlooks the Lonach field, just beside the little hamlet of Bellabeg. Fine two-storey-and-attic, five-window building in red granite ashlar with cherry-cocking. Central bay crowned by agreeable semicircular wallhead.
Plain L-plan mid-18th-century mill with ball finials to the gables. Original stream wheel was replaced by a small overshot wheel when the mill was converted to a joiner's shop early this century. Bellabeg Bank and Lonach Hall, contrasting statements in granite and timber.
