Description
Bothal Castle, located on the Welbeck Estate, includes an office and attached outbuildings around a stable yard, built around 1858 and incorporating some medieval walling. The structures are made of tooled stone with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs. An embattled screen wall extends north from the west end of the 19th-century wing attached to the castle gatehouse, returning east and then south. Various outbuildings are situated against this wall, including a flat-roofed single-storey office next to the wing and an L-plan stable block at the north-west corner. A lower wall with arched coping connects a small gabled building to the east end of the stable. The property features boarded doors and double doors, as well as 1- and 2-light windows with small-paned casements.
Medieval masonry is visible on the western screen wall, and the stable yard continues the 'Yethouse Court' mentioned in 'The Booke of Bothoole Baronye' from 1576, where the Ogle tower was located at the north-west corner.
