Former Laundry, North East Folklore Archive, Aden Country Park

The former laundry, now the North East Folklore Archive, is possibly from the late 18th century and was converted for its current use in 1995 by architect Leslie Hunter of Cullen. This early traditional building is two stories high, has three bays, and a rectangular plan. It is located between the now-ruinous Aden House and its semicircular steading. The structure retains its original openings, featuring small horizontal windows on the first floor, and is harled with stone margins. The base course is made of irregular rubble, with narrow granite margins and quoin strips.

The symmetrical principal elevation faces south and includes a central door with a later simple lean-to porch canopy. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration near the eaves on the first floor. The windows are timber sash and case with 6- and 12-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes small cast iron rooflights. The gablehead stacks are harled and have polygonal cans, while the skews are ashlar-coped.
