GV II Stable court. Probably 1731 by Roger Morris for Duke of Argyll, and c.1770, possibly by sir William Chambers for Duke of Buccleuch. Ironstone ashlar; Stonesfieid-slate roofs with ashlar stacks. Single range, extended by 2 wings and enclosed by a wall and gates. 2 storeys. 3 central bays of main range are rusticated and break forward between projecting quoin strips and below a shallow pedimental gable containing clock within an oculus; ground floor has 3 round arches containing coach-house doors, above which are small plain-architraved windows, the middle window with a lowered sill. Plain ashlar flanking sections terminating at projecting rusticated quoin strips each retain 3 similar architraved windows at first floor, and the left range also has 3 architraved openings at ground floor; ground floor to right is mostly C20 garage doors. Hipped roof rises behind a solid parapet with a moulded coping. Later wings, each a house, form 3-window pavilions linked to main range by lower sections, and each has a symmetrical front with a central door between 12-pane sashes, and has 6 pane sashes at first floor; parapets have moulded cornices continued round all sides, and end and rear walls have similar windows. Outer face of left linking section has a blind arch containing a smaller doorway. Pavilions and linking sections are probably c.1770. Enclosing wall, approximately 2 metres high, projects forward from the wings and returns to central rusticated gatepiers capped by moulded entablatures and rusticated ball finials, which may be part of the earlier work.
