Description
The Stable Offices at Aberlour House were built between 1838 and 1839 by William Robertson, with alterations and additions made by A and W Reid from 1854 to 1864. This single-storey building features an austere, north-facing, 9-bay polished ashlar façade that includes a central archway leading to an inner court. The slightly advanced central basket arch is flanked by paired pilasters that support a corniced eaves band, which is topped by a blocked wallhead featuring a pedimented bellcote from 1854. The bellcote is flanked by scroll brackets and has a small bell hanging from a keystoned arch. The entrance arch connects to the pedimented outer bays through a three-blank panelled wall, and there is a deep eaves band. The outer bays are also slightly advanced, featuring pediments, wide angle pilasters, and a single apron window with 12-pane glazing set in a shallow recess. The roof is shallow pitched and covered with slate.
The rear and side elevations of the range, which face the inner court, are primarily from 1854 and constructed of rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. These elevations include square and round-headed tripartite windows in the central block, coped stacks, and a slate roof with projecting eaves.
Internally, the range has been gutted and adapted for use as a school.
