Stable Cottage

Stable Cottage is a bastle house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed from large irregular rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and dressings, topped with a Scots slate roof and featuring one brick stack. The building has two storeys and two bays. A central renewed door is set within an old chamfered surround, with a 20th-century porch added in front. Above and to the right of the porch, there is a blocked door with a flat-pointed head. The windows are 20th-century casements set in 18th or early 19th-century openings, except for the lower right window. The roof is steeply pitched with raised gable copings and end stacks, one of which has been rebuilt.

Inside, the first floor features old roughly-chamfered beams and some two-panel doors. The roof structure consists of principal-rafter trusses. There is an attic chamber that includes a small fireplace, which is associated with the local tradition of a Jacobite refugee from the early 18th century.
