Mornington Cottage, School Wynd, Abernethy

Mornington Cottage is a late 18th/early 19th century, 2-storey, 3-bay, rectangular plan house. It is constructed in rubble with harl pointing and has droved red long and short dressings. The roof is pitched and has grey slates and coped chimney stacks with cans on each gable. There are straight skews and the skewputts have an unusual floral circular pattern. Adjoining the south gable is a pedestrian gateway with a lintel inscribed with initials and '1757'. To the rear of the cottage is a single storey, monopitched outshot with rubble walls and it is open on the north side.

Adjoining the north gable of the cottage is a single storey with attic former stables and byre which was converted to a museum in 2000. It is constructed in rubble and has irregular openings. Some of the openings have been added as part of the conversion of the building to a museum, and the windows, doors and droved red dressings are replacements. To the right is a shallow arched cart opening with a 2-leaf timber boarded door. The roof is piended and has grey slates. The east roof pitch has later rooflights. At the rear is a stairtower which was added as part of the museum conversion.
