Description
Kilmorack Steading is a later 18th-century former manse, significantly enlarged in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble with ashlar margins. The original house was a two-storey and attic, three-bay front, which has been extended by a slightly wider two-storey, three-bay range, creating a double-gabled dwelling. The later frontage has a central door within a slightly advanced gabled bay, defined by ashlar margins and featuring an apex stack to the right. A late ground floor ashlar canted bay window is present, with a bipartite window to the left. Margined flues rise the full height of the east and west gables, serving corniced end stacks.
The original rear block has paired piended dormers now facing the roof valley. A rear, central projecting gabled stairwell has scroll skewputts. A later entrance with a porch is in the west gable, and the east return gable features two ground floor and two first-floor windows. Most windows are 12-pane sash windows, beneath slate roofs.
A single-storey, whitewashed rubble steading range is located to the rear, also with slate roofs. The manse was likely erected during the incumbancy of Rev. John Fraser, Minister of Kilmorack Parish, from 1769 to 1804. References detailing the building's construction and early appearance appear in The Statistical Account and Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae.
