A late 19th-century purpose-built drill-hall of Granite ashlar with pink (Auchindoir) freestone dressings and pronounced quoins. It has a two-bay gable to the street with a square, crenellated tower and a porch bay attached. The gable bears the inscription 'A Company 4th VBGH' (Volunteer Battalion Gordon Highlanders). In 1914-18 it was the drill station for F Squadron, 2nd Scottish Horse and H Company of the 6th Gordon Highlanders. The building appears on the 3rd epoch OS 1:2500 map of Huntly, but not the 2nd edition map.
