Parkhead

The Walled Garden at Parkhead is a two-storey building, likely designed by Robert Mylne, dating from the mid to later 18th century. It was reconstructed after suffering partial fire damage in the 1970s. Originally serving as a bothy and housing for estate workers, it is now a house located on the northeast side of the northern end of the former walled garden. The building features buff-coloured, roughcast walls with some masonry dressings.

The northwest elevation, which faces the main garden, has seven bays arranged asymmetrically. It includes two small windows symmetrically placed on the outer left, while the remaining window openings have been enlarged. Modern windows and large voussoired flat-arched doors are present at the ground level.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a broad gable with a wide central door framed by a stone margin that has a stop-chamfered edge. Above the door is a window, with a narrow window located in the gablehead.

The northeast elevation is asymmetrical and features 14 closely spaced bays, with plate glass timber pivot windows. There are three boarded garage doors located in the bays on the outer left at ground level.

On the south elevation, there is a window at the center and a lean-to glasshouse at ground level.

The garden elevation has multi-paned timber pivot windows, while the rear elevation features a plate glass timber pivot window. The building is topped with a slate roof, ashlar ridging, and ashlar coping on the skews. It also has cast-iron Velux rooflights and a whinstone rubble ridge stack with ashlar coping and thack-stane.

Inside, the building has been modernized but retains some interesting doors and panelling that has been salvaged from a demolished house in Glasgow.

The walled garden itself is enclosed by a tall rubble wall with ashlar coping. It features a segmental-arched gateway with a timber gate, supported by stugged ashlar voussoirs, and the wall is buttressed on the interior.
