Description
Brylach, located in Rothes Glen, was built in 1873 and is possibly attributed to architect Alexander Ross from Inverness. This building is a single and two-storey hollow square structure featuring a five-bay entrance front on the northeast side and a long southeast range that has been converted into a dwelling house. The exterior is constructed of tooled rubble with tooled ashlar dressings.
The northeast front has a slightly advanced gable center bay with a segmental-headed archway entrance leading to an inner court, which is topped by a long louvred and gabletted clock tower that currently lacks clock faces. The ridge of the roof features long Gothic cast-iron brattishing with apex weathervanes. The central archway connects to a two-storey gabled outer bay through single-storey bays.
The southeast frontage is irregular and consists of six bays, with a central entrance that is now sheltered by a modern glazed sun porch. The wallhead is interrupted by four piended dormers. The inner court includes stabling for four horses and two carriage houses.
The building showcases varied glazing, has a coped wallhead, and truncated end stacks, all covered by slate roofs.
