Full Description
Stables, offices and steading constructed in 1743, designed by the architect William Adam, and part of the House of Dun (NO65NE0061). They are located on west axis of house and linked to it by curved screen walls. Fine ashlar symmetrical frontage, centre archway with pediment and later clock turret flanked by 2-storey, 3-window sections then lower 2-storey sections with semi-elliptical arches. Flank screen walls, with single-storey buildings within the court. A rare wooden game larder is in the centre of the courtyard (at NO 6700 5986). A standing building survey was carried out by AOC Archaeology in November to December 2017. The stables are largely unchanged in design and layout since construction, although there were a few changes in the 19th century including the raising of the north wing and possibly some alterations to the internal partition walls of the south wing. The west range of the stables was converted in the 1980s to use as a cafe, kitchen and shop with two holiday flats above. Beam slots in the outer walls of the north and south wings indicate earlier roof structures in some of the rooms, but the present roofs are machine cut pine.
