The converted Granary retains interest with its imposing massing and traditional profile, evidence of loading doors and hoist canopy, and its prominent harbour-side location. It remains an import reminder of the period when grain was one of Stonehaven's principal exports. When the derelict granary was purchased for conversion in the 1970s there had been a shop operating from the SE corner, and a former cottage (on the site of the garage) had been blown up by a mine. The staircase installed during the 1970s conversion was salvaged from Marischall College, Aberdeen.
