This was the principal Pump Room, which was demolished in 1950. The site is now occupied by 3 octagonal buildings incorporating the local Tourist Office, a Water Sampling Room and public toilets, all built some time between 1985 and 1991.
The plans shown in photographs C12932 and C12980/CN (from the survey of plans lent for copying in June 1993 by Mr Mike Taylor) were found in a derelict estate office on the Castle Leod estate. The material relates to two periods of alteratioon work carried out at Castle Leod, for the Earl of Cromartie-the first in 1851 by Andrew Maitland, who adapted designs by David Bryce, the second in 1904, when the north wing, previously altered in 1874, was mostly rebuilt. The material also relates to the nearby Inchvannie Farm Steading, and the pump room at Strathpeffer Spa, which were both owned by the Castle Leod estate.
