Stables, Winton Castle, Pencaitland

The stables at Winton Castle in Pencaitland date from the later 19th century and form a quadrangular single-storey stable court located to the north of the castle. The building is constructed from squared and snecked, stugged sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features chamfered reveals. The south range is a symmetrical seven-bay structure, highlighted by a tall gabled advanced carriage-arch at the center. Above the depressed arch, there is a blank panel. Flanking the carriage-arch is a three-bay cottage with advanced gabled porches at the center, which have depressed lintels and keystones. The sash and case windows exhibit a four-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is covered with purple slates. The gablet coped skews are adorned with consoled skewputts, and stone finials are present on the porches. Additionally, there are shaped, coped stacks, decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and cast iron eaves brackets, along with louvred ventilators in the stable range.
