Full Description
Remains of shooting lodge. Bynack shooting lodge and its outbuildings are situated on a terrace to the south of the burn. These include the Lodge itself, a second stone building, a walled-garden, a subterranean cold-store, a range of stances for timber buildings to the rear of the Lodge and a stone setting. There are the footings of two further outbuildings about 100m to the southeast and a drystone wall encompasses 0.4ha of ground to the west. A standing building survey was carried out at the site in 2000 by Kirkdale Archaeology. Walkover survey by Highland Archaeology Services along the river Dee in 2023 (NO08NW0055) encompassed the part of this site alongside the Bynack Burn and recorded (NO 99936 85540 - NO 99930 85579 - NO 00066 85590) a drystone enclosure wall, badly tumbled in places, 0.6 m wide and up to 1.2 m high. It forms an enclosure with Bynack Lodge.
