Description
The kennels at Macharioch House date from the later 19th century and are designed in a Scottish style. The building forms a square and consists of one storey with a loft. It has an E-shaped layout, is rendered, and features gabled roofs that are partly piended. The gablets have finials at the loft doors on the north and south blocks, which are currently roofless and gutted. A round arch on the north side is rusticated. On the west side, there is a wall with gate piers topped with ball-finials, along with a small circular shed that has a conical roof.
