Description
The former drill hall, now known as Angus Classic Interiors, was constructed in 1879-80 and extended in 1892. The offices at the front were designed by Thomas Martin Cappon, in collaboration with Patrick Hill Thoms, between 1896 and 1897. This building features a two-storey, three-bay, approximately rectangular plan in the Free Jacobean style and currently serves as commercial premises as of 2015. It is built from squared and snecked pink rubble with polished ashlar dressings.
The central gabled bay on the main facade rises to three storeys and includes a wide round-arched entrance with a recessed door, topped by a sculpted lion and unicorn holding the Black Watch crest. The entrance is flanked by cartouches inscribed with '2nd VBRH' and 'Black Watch'. The stepped gable features a broken pediment with a ball finial and a large oculus with a decorative surround. The windows are primarily timber sash and case with six panes, stone mullions, and transoms in the central windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are corniced chimney stacks with some yellow clay cans.
The interior has not been fully inspected, but photographs from November 2015 reveal some surviving late 19th-century features. The hall's interior, now divided, is timber lined with a shallow arched roof supported by cast iron. The office area retains simple late 19th-century plasterwork, timber panelled doors, and a timber stair.
