Description
The stabling at Stirlings, which has been demolished, was a stable block built in the mid-18th century. It featured flared Flemish bond brick with red brick quoins and dressings, topped with an old tile roof. The building had a crescent-shaped plan with a central entry. The two-storey entry included an elliptical arch with a limestone-coral key and impost blocks, and a gauged brick flat arch over a window above. It also had dentilled eaves and a hipped roof.
On either side of the entry were one-storey wings that had two adjoining semi-circular arches with projecting brick impost courses closest to the entry, and two lunettes flanking 20th-century doors. These wings also featured dentilled eaves and gabled roofs that swept around to plain gable walls, with the left side having an inserted window. Additionally, there was a dovecote with brick nesting holes in a gabled projection to the left of the entry. Inside, the stable had a collar-truss roof, mostly retaining its original split rafters.
