Stables, Ruchlaw House

The stables at Ruchlaw House date from the early 19th century and consist of two rectangular blocks that form the south and west sides of a courtyard, which is enclosed by walls to the north and east. The building is constructed from red rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings and some droved stones, topped with purple slate piend roofs.

The west range features two widely spaced bays, with a segmental-arched carriage entrance at the center. This entrance is flanked by a doorway on the outer right and a window on the outer left, with an additional window nearby. There are three square hayloft windows located under the eaves. On the south side, there is a doorway that is now blocked, with a hayloft window above it, and a gabled brick projection facing the courtyard.

The south range is a single storey, raised by approximately 2 feet. The south side is largely blank, while the west end elevation has two 12-paned sash and case windows. The courtyard elevation includes two later inserted windows at the center, along with sliding machinery doors. There is a bothy door on the outer right with a blocked hayloft window above, and two doors on the outer left with a window flanking them and a hayloft window above. Additionally, there is a brick lean-to addition on the outer left. The stables are bordered by coped rubble walls of a walled garden to the north and east.
