Description
The Black Loch Boathouse at Lochinch Castle is a single-storey, three-bay structure built in the later 19th century. It is constructed of red brick with raised cream quoins and dressings around the openings, featuring timber framework in the gables and timber bracketed eaves.
On the southeast elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is a three-bay layout with an advanced central gabled entrance porch. This porch has a timber door, although the decorative hinge is missing, and a dentilled lintel above it. Flanking the porch are slit windows.
The northeast elevation, facing the loch, has a single bay with a square-headed opening supported by timber shouldered brackets and a dentilled lintel above the timber framework.
The southwest elevation also has a single bay featuring a bipartite window at the center, with a dentilled lintel above the timber framework.
On the northwest elevation, there is a three-bay layout with a central gabled bay that includes a bipartite window and a dentilled lintel, flanked by slit windows.
The boathouse has timber window frames and a grey slate roof adorned with fishscale banding, decorative iron ridging, and a finial. Inside, there is stone perimeter paving and a timber-beamed roof.
