L-plan, chloritic schist ashlar, 3-aisle, 7-bay byre with timber roof on square-section cast-iron columns, some wooden trevises and ceramic water troughs. Accommodation and dairy range at W end with attic room and 2 wall-head chimney stacks. Slate roof with open eaves and wavy barge boards to gables. One of the spectacular and complete group of structures making up the Taymouth Castle estate. (Historic Scotland)

The Castle and its contents were sold in 1922 and it became a hotel. The site operated as a Polish hospital during the war and was later leased to a civil defence school.
