Description
Saltoun Home Farm is a late 18th century U-plan steading featuring a classical tower. The building is constructed of harled rubble with a droved ashlar tower.
On the south range, the courtyard elevation faces north and includes a tall corniced bay at the center, which has a blocking course with a tablet. There is a round-headed carriage archway with impost bands, and above it, an octagonal tower sits on a square base, featuring a round arched dovecot opening, an impost course, a cornice, and a ribbed, leaded cupola. Square hayloft windows are located in the flanking bays, while modern additions have been made at the rear.
The east range contains a piend roofed farmhouse at the center, which is taller than the flanking bays and set forward. It has five irregular bays facing the courtyard, with a round arched stair window above oculi at the center. To the left, there is a door with a blind window above it, and windows on each floor in the remaining bays. The stables to the south are attached to the south range, with a granary above. To the left of the farmhouse, there are piend roofed bothies or cottages with five irregular bays, a piend roofed porch added at the center, a bipartite window inserted to the right, another door to the outer left, and small first-floor windows in each bay.
The west range has been rebuilt, with its outer elevation abutted by modern buildings. The courtyard elevation is irregular with few openings, featuring wide machinery doors to the right and granary windows above. The north end is gabled with a double harled forestair that has stone steps leading to a round arched doorway below, which leads to a granary door; there is also a blind quatrefoil motif in the gablehead.
The roofs are covered with grey-green slates.
The retaining walls and gatepiers on the north side of the courtyard are enclosed by ashlar coped rubble quadrants with ashlar drum piers. Large drum piers are connected to the roadside retaining wall and similarly to the field opposite, which formerly led to Saltoun Stables.
