Description

Steading at Kilcluan, built by William Robertson between 1825 and 1826, is a two-storey house facing south, built over a raised basement and featuring three bays. The front is made of rubble, with modern harling at the raised basement level and on the gables and rear, complemented by tooled and polished ashlar dressings. The central door is set in a shallow round-headed recess and features a fanlight with decorative glazing. A slightly later pedimented porch fronts the doorway, which is accessed by a flight of steps that oversails the raised basement. The outer ground floor windows, which have panelled aprons, are also set in shallow round-headed recesses. There are two ground floor windows in the west gable, and the rear has regular fenestration, now partially obscured by a later single-storey wing over the raised basement. Most windows have 12-pane glazing, and there are two modern dormers at the rear. The house has a coped end wallhead stack and a piended platform slate roof.

Inside, there is a curved staircase with slender wooden balusters, panelled doors and window shutters, and moulded doorpieces with a simple key pattern decoration. The drawing-room features a grey marble chimneypiece with a later 19th-century ornate cast-iron grate, while cast-iron grates from around 1825 are found elsewhere in the house.

The steading, built in 1815, is a U-plan range that includes single-storey and single-storey with loft structures, arranged around a rectangular court that is closed at the south by a coped rubble wall. This wall features later ball-finialled gatepiers and a re-used wrought-iron pedestrian gate. The steading is constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings, and the centre block has a segmental-headed arch leading to a rear lane. The roofs are slate with stone ridges.

To the west of the steading and house is a substantial square walled garden, also built in 1815, made of rubble.
