Steading, Kinloss Home Farm

This is a large, rectangular, single-storey and loft steading range, likely dating from the 1860s and 1870s and probably designed by A and W Reid of Elgin. The building is arranged as a long range with its principal elevation facing west. The west front is constructed of tooled ashlar, while the rest of the building is of harl-pointed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. It is divided into seven bays, with a slightly projecting and gabled central bay featuring a tall, round-headed archway. The archway has a bullfaced ashlar lower course and moulded detailing, topped with a carved bull’s head as the keystone. The ground floor of the west front has a variety of openings. There are three rectangular loft windows on each side of the entrance arch. The south elevation is gabled and has various ground floor entrances, now closed by modern sliding doors, a series of small loft windows, and gable lunettes. A continuous band course runs along the building. The roof is slate, with projecting eaves. The steading is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of around 1870. The farmhouse is not included as part of this listing.
