Farm buildings enclosing a square courtyard on four sides. Rubble with slate roofs, several of which have been re-roofed in a mixture of materials. Originally owned by the Diocese of Aberdeen, Westhall passed to the Gordon family after the Reformation. In 1681 it was purchased by the Rev. James Horne, Vicar of Elgin, who extended it and briefly renamed it Horne Castle. In 1860 Westhall passed to the Leith family, who owned the estate until 1944.
