8, Tomich

These are a pair of single-storey and attic cottages, dated circa 1863 and designed by A & W Reid of Elgin and Inverness. They are located at Tomich. The cottages are built of harl pointed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. Each cottage has two bays and is characterized by original timber porches with lattice side panels and decorative bargeboards. The ground floor windows have hoodmoulds, with matching detailing on the flanking ground floor return gables. Each cottage features a pair of wallhead dormers with decorative bargeboards. Modern glazing is present at number 8, while number 9 retains multi-pane glazing. The roof is slate, with a coped ridge stack. At the rear, an original two-storey wing projects centrally and is flanked by later flat-roofed, single-storey extensions. Undated drawings relating to the cottages are held within the Guisachan Estate plans at Moray District Record Office, Forres.
