Steading And Stables, Torosay Castle, Mull

The Steading and Stables at Torosay Castle on the Isle of Mull date back to around 1780, as indicated by an estate map from 1829, with mid-Victorian additions. The building is nearly symmetrical and features a central Italianate tower, along with screen walls and gables on the outer ranges. Constructed from ashlar stone, it has hipped slate roofs topped with a finial on the tower. The tower includes a three-light top storey, arched recesses on the first floor, and square-headed openings with dipmoulds on the ground floor. The screen walls have similar blind windows, elliptical carriage arches (with the right-hand arch being blind), and blind round-headed windows in the outer gables. The east range features a central gable, lying-pane glazing, dormers, and banding doors. There are also ruinous buildings within the courtyard.
