Stables, Prestonfield House, 71 Priestfield Road, Edinburgh

The stables at Prestonfield House, located at 71 Priestfield Road in Edinburgh, were designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1816. This single-storey building features an attic and a circular plan, squared at the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast corners. The structure is built from coursed cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, including a base course, cornice, blocking course, long and short surrounds, and quoins.

The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, has three bays. The central bay is advanced and breaks the eaves, featuring an attic and a pediment. It includes a round-arched carriage gate with a band course and a decoratively carved panel above, along with an inscription panel to the pediment. There are single windows in recessed, round-arched panels in the outer left and right bays.

The southeast, northwest, and northeast elevations consist of four-bay advanced squared blocks and three-bay curved blocks. These elevations contain single windows and some stable doors at ground level, with the northwest elevation having doorways only. Small single windows are present in the attic above.

All window openings are currently blocked. The stables have recently been re-roofed with grey slate and feature corniced ridge stacks. The former stable court is covered with a tent canopy.
