Very little is now visible of Burnside farmsteading, which stood about 70m S and SE of the two farmhouses NJ02NE 21.00. The steading underwent a number of changes between 1874, when the main focus was centred on four buildings ranged around a courtyard, with two other roofed buildings situated immediately to the NW and SE, all depicted roofed on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1874 sheet xxxv), and the start of the 20th century, by which time most of the buildings had gone out of use (2nd edition map, Elginshire 1905, sheet xxxiii.SW & SE). Of the buildings depicted on the earlier map, those ranged around the yard and that immediately to the SE have been demolished and only fragmentary footings of the building to the NW remain.
Of the later structures in the steading, the footings of a narrow building some 20m in length lie immediately E of the former courtyard, and 15m SE of this there is a sheep-dip, in the interior of which there are two iron cauldrons built into a stand with flues beneath.
The abutments of a bridge that crossed the unnamed burn 25m SW of the courtyard are still extant and a mill dam, which would have fed the mill lade depicted on the 1st edition of the map, is situated 480m SE of the steading.
