Thanks to Alir147 for the original heads-up.
I couldn't find out much about Glenfiddich Lodge other than it was originally built in 1790 and possibly closed for business in the early 1980s. A couple of the rooms are still clearly in sporadic use by shooting parties.Compared to other hunting/shooting lodges, particularly those built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it looks very compact, but once you get inside it's a real warren and there's quite a lot to the place.
A row of beeches runs along the drive. If they were planted in 1790 they must have been seriously stunted by the wild location!
Enormous Electrolux fridge. A lot of the remaining furniture had lot numbers on.
1982 phonebook, it's nice that they put some effort into the cover with a drawing of Aberdeen harbour
Old fuseboard?
Squares of tartan carpet welcome you into your room for the night. The rooms are pretty basic, though most are en-suite
The side corridors are pretty cramped

I could have stayed the night here. Matches, an open fire, and logs stacked up by the door. This is one of the rooms still in sporadic use.
Any idea what this is? It looks like a safe door, but opens to something that looks like a door handle attached to a wire
Another 'in sporadic use' bit
Soviet Zetor tractor in one of the sheds. We have an identical but much more wrecked one at work, allegedly it can be started with a 6 inch nail, but I didn't need to bother as this one had its key in the ignition.
It had juice in the battery and the fuel tank - I should have driven it back down the few miles to the car, but it might have been harder work than walking with its non-syncromesh gearbox and back-breaking ride
One of the several outbuildings. Cute!
