Stable Block
This splendid block was the stables for the mansion of Pitfour nearby. On a grand scale and in classical style, it is Category B listed. There are rumours that there may be plans to restore and develop it, but so far nothing significant has been done.

Hole in the Ground
I gather that this hole will in due course become the site of a new house.

Parkland at Pitfour
The land is now under cultivation, but in its heyday this was part of the vista of lawns sweeping down to the shore of the lake from the mansion house.

Disused Structure on Pitfour Estate
This low structure is water-related - there were some pipes and what looked like an old ballcock inside. It will no doubt have had something to do with the old reservoirs nearby. Just SouthEast of this spot is a fenced-off area containing a rather mundane new covered reservoir, and a far more impressive (albeit far smaller) curved concrete tank-style one.
Strangely, this tiny building makes it onto the current large-scale OS map, but the functioning covered reservoir does not.

Pitfour Chapel
The chapel was built as a private chapel for the use of the Ferguson family and their estate staff in 1850-1851 after the laid, George Feguson, had fallen out with the Episcopal clergyman at Old Deer. It is one of a few places of worship that belonged to the English Episcopal (continuing) church rather than to the Episcopal Church of Scotland like the majority of Anglican churches in Scotland. It had fallen into disrepair by the 1980s, but was restored in 2003 for use as a house, winning several conservation awards.
