Description
The stables at Newtonairds, designed by architects Peddie & Kinnear in 1865-1866, showcase a Scots Baronial style. They feature asymmetrical elevations built on an elevated, sloping site around a small quadrangular courtyard. The west range is two stories tall, while the other ranges are single-story. The construction uses snecked and squared whin rubble, accented with contrasting red ashlar dressings. The building's angles are mostly curved and corbelled to square below the eaves.
The west elevation has a near-centre advanced gable that includes a rope-moulded segmental-arched pend and a conical-roofed turret located in the left re-entrant angle. There are corbel tables, and a bartizan on the right is linked to a dummy parapet. The first-floor windows break the eaves and feature pedimented and finialed dormer heads. Other elevations display a variety of roof levels, with a wide segmental-arched east-facing window with a gabled head near the centre. The south elevation includes three round-headed ground floor windows in the left gable. The building has coped, mostly axial or wallhead stacks, and the west range features mostly crow-stepped gables, while the others have straight skews. The roofs are covered with slate. Most of the stalls have been removed.
