Description
The gazebo at Kinloch Castle on the Isle of Rum was built around 1900 and is designed in the Scottish Baronial style. It has an octagonal shape and is constructed from harled concrete with rendered concrete dressings. The structure features round-headed entrances on the east and west sides, with moulded jambs. The east entrance leads to the shore and is closed by a painted wooden gate, while the west entrance opens to the garden. Each entrance is flanked by square-headed and cusped bipartite windows set in round-headed recesses. A string course marks the first floor, which has a central bipartite window above each entrance. These windows are topped by a corniced plaque displaying a coat of arms on the east side and a beehive crest on the west. Additionally, there is a cannon spout that drains water from the wallhead.
Inside, the gazebo has an empty interior that rises to the first floor without any intermediate flooring.
