Turbine House, River Leven, Balgonie Castle

The Turbine House at Balgonie Castle, dated 1922, is a square-plan, crenellated structure powered by water from the River Leven. It features multicoloured brick with stone cills, keystones, and coping, along with round-headed openings.

On the south elevation, the design is symmetrical, showcasing a wide two-leaf boarded timber door at the center, which has a blocked semicircular fanlight above it, flanked by windows. Below the crenellated parapet, there is a corbelled and mutuled cornice, with a date stone positioned at the center.

The west elevation includes large openings for water inlets, located to the right of center and off-center to the left, with the same cornice and parapet details as the south elevation.

The north elevation features windows to the right and left of center, with a cornice and parapet similar to the south elevation, but it also includes a semicircular stone at the center and angles around to the left.

On the east elevation, there is a large window at the center, accompanied by glazed occuli in the flanking bays, with the same cornice and parapet details as mentioned previously.

Inside, the building has a boarded timber roof supported by cast iron girders.
