A group of buildings situated on level ground about 294m NE of Craigiehall House (NT17NE 29.00), which include four standard barrack blocks, soldiers dining room with kitchen and several other specialised buildings.
The four Barrack blocks of two stroreys are of the 'Chessington' type (Innes 1996), are orientated NW to SE, measure about 50m x 11m overall and have been provided with slated pitched roofs and a balcony at one end. All were completed to a modified design by Bowhill, Gibson and Laing in 1955. The four blocks are designated A to D and have now been given names. The dining room is also of a modified design having a pitched roof with slates.
One earlier building survives, a wooden single storey hut of World War II design (NT 16834 75640), which is now disused.
