Garden, c.1809, where the wall is alleged to have been modelled on an Indian fort. The centres of east and west walls bear circular crenellated towers, while there is a tall, slim square granite ashlar-fronted tower with crenellated parapet and, formerly, a weathervane in the centre of the north wall. Circular rubble doocot with conical roof and weathercock
flanked by single-storey pyramid-roofed symmetrical wings. Converted to silo.
Charles Forbes of Auchernach (d.1794) was master of the barracks at Corgarff Castle; his son rose to a Lieutenant-Generalship in India, hence the garden (and perhaps the house itself).
