Description
This building is a temple with Greek Doric columns located at Boathouse Wood, part of Dunecht House. It features an entablature on a podium and is open to the loch. The structure is a re-erection of the porte cochere from William Smith's Dunecht, which incorporated columns from John Smith's Dunecht. The original porte cochere was demolished around 1877 and has since been repurposed as a decorative feature by the loch.
