Glenbrittle House, late 18th century with earlier 19th-century addition Essentially two houses built back-to-back - a standard tacksman's house fronting the road and a Georgian-style farmhouse of pink ashlar overlooking a wooded garden. The latter conforms to the Kintail type plan, with stacks on internal walls and a piended roof. Good complex of farm buildings and old stone dykes.
