Description
The Fishing Temple, designed by William Adam around 1741, is a two-stage round structure located on an island in the River Deveron, east of Duff House. As of 1990, it is roofless and overgrown. The building is constructed of polished ashlar and features raised and moulded architraves, lugged door surrounds, a base course, a band course, and a moulded cornice.
Access to the principal upper stage is via a horseshoe stair with moulded treads and a simple wrought-iron balustrade, leading to a doorway set in an advanced pedimented bay. There is another doorway at ground level beneath the stairs. The opposite side has a further advanced pedimented bay that is blank. The principal stage has four tall windows, while smaller windows are located below.
Inside, there are two basket-arched fireplaces, with the one in the upper stage featuring finely roll-moulded arrises. The building also has a moulded, corniced ashlar stack with clasping vase-shaped flues.
