Mains of Hallhead, 1686. A classic laird's house of the Gordons of Esslemont, set high and remote; T-plan, two-storey and attic with crisp corbiesteps. Moulded door in south re-entrant angle bore date, now indistinct (?1668 or 1688); converted to farmhouse in 19th century. The steading has acquired a splendid, finely molded arch with 1703 panel and initials (IGMR) over. Attic dormers, 19th century or possibly earlier. Refurbished c.2002.
