Description
The building known as the Kennels and Loupin' On Stane, part of the Old Stables at Balmuir House, dates back to the earlier 18th century, with the kennels added in the late 19th century. It is a single-storey, rectangular-plan stable constructed of harl pointed rubble masonry, featuring irregular pink sandstone quoins and a stone slate roof. The gable at the west side has a door on the right and an off-centre window on the left, which has 6-pane glazing at the top and is boarded at the bottom, along with an arrow slit ventilator at the gable.
On the south elevation, there is a dilapidated window located at the centre. The east gable forms the southwest corner of the garden wall of Balmuir House and also has a dilapidated window on the left.
Inside, the stalls have been removed, and the walls are boarded with a coomb ceiling.
The Loupin-On-Stane and gatepiers are situated at the southwest angle aligned with the west gable. They consist of large stugged and squared rubble blocks forming five steps, with two segmental-headed monolithic gatepiers, one of which is attached to the loupin-on-stane.
The kennels are located on the adjoining north elevation of the stable and consist of three brick-built lean-to kennels, surrounded by plain cast-iron enclosing railings on a low rubble wall, with a ruinous rubble-built enclosure to the left.
