7/81 Bothal Castle: Welbeck Estate Office and attached outbuildings around stable yard GV II

Outbuildings, c.1858, incorporating some medieval walling. Tooled stone with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings; Welsh slate roofs. Embattled screen wall runs north from west end of C19 wing attached to castle gatehouse, returning east and then south; various outbuildings back onto wall: flat-roofed single- storey office adjacent to wing, L-plan stable block at north-west corner; lower wall with arched coping links small gabled building with east end of stable. Boarded doors and double doors, 1- and 2-light windows with small-paned casements.

Medieval masonry is visible externally on the western screen wall; the stable yard perpetuates the 'Yethouse Court' described in an account of the castle in 'The Booke of Bothoole Baronye' (1576); the Ogle tower stood at its north- west corner.

'Bothal Observed', R. Bibby. Frank Graham, 1973.
