Stable Block, Tyninghame House

The Stable Block at Tyninghame House was designed by William Burn around 1833, incorporating earlier work, particularly in the southern range. It is constructed from squared and snecked red rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings.

The western entrance range features two square ashlar gatepiers, adorned with shield and coronet dies, flanking timber gates. There is a low range running north and south, each with ventilation slits, and an advanced gabled bay set in the re-entrant angle to the south. The range is closed by advanced gabled end elevations on both the north and south sides. On the left side block, there are two stables, and there were formerly stables on the right, all opening onto a courtyard with doors flanked by windows.

The north range has six segmental carriage arches on the courtyard elevation, each with timber doors. The south range consists of eight regular bays, featuring gabled dormer windows that break the eaves in the outer three bays on each side, with louvred openings for the hayloft in the two outer left bays, while the remainder has small-pane glazing. There is a hayloft door on the west gable and a window in the attic of the east gable, both with large die skewputts and wallhead stacks. The rubble masonry includes incised ornamentation taken from the ruins of St Baldred's Kirk, located in the grounds of Tyninghame House. Inside, the boarded stalls are retained, complete with hay racks and cast-iron posts.

The east range leads to a sub-court and piggery, featuring an off-centre gateway to the left of the courtyard elevation with timber gates. There are three bays to the left of the doorway, flanked by windows, with a gabled hayloft dormer above the center. To the right, there are four bays with a segmental archway leading to stables, set off-centre to the right, with a dormered hayloft above and windows in the remaining bays. The stables have four semi-circular arched hay hecks on stone flags.

A long gabled range runs east beyond the sub-court, equipped with ventilators, and the remains of a walled piggery extend to the north. The courtyard features a mix of setts and tarmac, with a variety of small-pane glazing and louvred openings in sash and case windows. The building has crowstepped gables with beak skewputts, grey slate roofing, and pantiles on the piggery.
