Mains Of Forglen

Mains of Forglen is an early 19th-century quadrangular farm steading featuring a two-stage tower. The building has undergone significant alterations, but the northeast and southeast ranges remain relatively intact. It is harled, with Turriff sandstone margins.

The northeast elevation includes a two-storey range with a central two-stage pedimented tower. At the ground level, there is a segmental-arched vehicular pend, with a loft above. A band course and a keystoned, segmental-arched doorway lead to the second stage, which has a boarded door and a pediment above that features a clock made by W Roger from Banff. The apex of the tower is corniced. The flanking three-bay ranges are now asymmetrical, with windows at the ground level, smaller hayloft windows, and loading doors that break the eaves in the dormerheads above. There is also a modern segmental arch vehicle pend to the outer right.

The southeast elevation is almost symmetrical and situated on rising ground. It features a central loading door at the first floor, flanked by louvred windows. There are three segmental cart-arches in the outer bays, grouped at each end of the elevation, with two of the outer left arches blocked. The courtyard and other ranges have modern slappings. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped skews and stacks.
