NH 86767 07604 (centred on) Kinrara Farmstead The settlement is situated 1km to the SW of Kinrara House and close to a monument to the Duchess of Gordon. It is on a grassy knoll and has extensive views towards the S and the Cairngorm Mountains. The settlement consists of five buildings and an enclosure spread over c100 x 80m. The remains of the two largest buildings are on the summit of the knoll and consist of low turf footings. The other buildings appear as platforms and it is assumed that they were probably of timber construction. The enclosure is surrounded by substantial turf banks and has a curious circular recess in its NW corner. Contemporary documentary evidence strongly suggests that this is the original farmhouse occupied by the Duchess of Gordon before she built Kinrara House in 1804.
