Ormiclate Farmhouse, late 18th/early 19th century Harled and slated farmhouse of 'improved' type, forming part of the west range enclosing the forecourt to Ormiclate Castle. Miss Margaret Macdonald, sister of young Clanranald of the '45, was living here when she died in 1826 aged 88 - the last of her family to be associated with Ormiclate. Relegated to a grieve's house in the late 19th century, it was restored in 1996.
The Square, c.1877 Fairly standard court of improved steadings and farmworkers' houses, built to plans used for farm buildings on the Gordon's Cluny estate in Aberdeenshire.
