Description

Kinneil Museum, originally a stable range from the earlier to mid 18th century, is a single storey and attic building with a hayloft that has been converted into a museum, featuring a later addition at the rear. The structure is built of sandstone rubble and has crowstepped gables and pedimented dormers.

On the east elevation, the ground floor openings have been infilled with timber, which has glazed upper halves. There is an opening to the left and a bipartite rectangular opening to the right that includes a stone mullion and an entrance door. A further opening is located at the far right. In the attic, there are two pedimented dormers on the left and a pedimented opening on the right that breaks the eaves.

The west elevation is blind and features a harled crowstepped single-storey projecting gable wing from the late 20th century, which is off-centre. The building has timber sash and case windows with horns, primarily consisting of 12 panes, and is topped with modern pantiles.

The interior has been comprehensively modernised to accommodate the museum. Additionally, there is a section of rubble boundary wall to the north. The building's category was changed from C(S) to B on 23 March 2006.
