Top Barn, Home Farm, Raasay House, Raasay

Home Farm at Raasay House was built for James MacLeod around 1800 and remodeled in 1877 for E H Wood by Alexander Ross. This large, symmetrical, 13-bay home farm is arranged around a partially cobbled courtyard and features an arcaded design with a clock tower, stable, byre, bothy, dairy, tack-room, and workshop. The building is constructed of harled rubble with tooled dressings and margins, topped with slate roofs. There is also a detached mid-19th century 'top barn' to the north and a kennel range to the northwest.

The south elevation has a wide round-arched entrance at the center, flanked by single openings on both the ground and upper floors, separated by string courses. The gable is shouldered and pedimented, rising to the clock tower, which has long vents on the north and south sides, shallow corbelling at the upper stage, and a bracketed eaves course raised in the center to accommodate clock faces on all four elevations. The shallow piended platform roof was formerly capped.

The entrance is flanked by 5-bay arcades, with timber louvred arches on the left leading to a drying barn, which is also arcaded on the north elevation. The arches on the right are currently blocked and front the former stables. The outer bays are slightly advanced and have piend roofs, with the outer right bay being a former carriage house.

To the north side of the courtyard are the bothy and workshop range, featuring a timber fireplace and recessed presses on the west gable, with some windows having lying-pane glazing. There are two shallow-arched cart bays on the east range facing the courtyard, with a loft above and simple chamfering on the byre doorways. The stables have been converted for cattle use. A vehicular entrance with wrought-iron gates is located at the northwest corner of the square.

The top barn, built around 1856 and possibly incorporating 18th-century fabric, is a long hay threshing barn located to the north of the farm square. It is made of dressed, coursed rubble, with a large area of walling taken up by timber louvres flanking the center door on the south elevation and wattling on the north side. There are remains of a horse walk to the north, and it has a piended slate roof.

The kennels, built in the mid-19th century, are a long, single-storey, rectangular-plan range located to the west of the top barn. They contain seven segregated runs with cast-iron railings on the south side, and a former wash house on the outer right with remains of a washtub and chimney stack. The kennels also have a piended slate roof.
