Description

The icehouse at Heriot-Watt University, located on the Riccarton Estate, dates back to the early 18th century. It is situated within the wooded campus of the university, near the eastern bank of a former burn. This circular, domed subterranean structure is now overgrown and constructed from sandstone rubble masonry with droved margins. The entrance is found in the north-facing chamber.

Inside, the icehouse features an egg-shaped section with a domical vault, measuring 5 meters in diameter and 8 meters in height.
