Brewhouse And Bakehouse, Laundry, Stobhall Castle

The Brewhouse and Bakehouse, Laundry at Stobhall Castle is a building from the 16th to 17th century. It is a small, single-storey structure with a raised basement and a rectangular plan, consisting of two bays. The building originally housed a brewhouse and bakehouse in the basement, with a laundry on the ground floor. It is situated on sloping ground that descends steeply to the west garden and the River Tay, overlooking a small courtyard to the east. There is a mid-20th century link to Dowery House at the northeast, and it is adjacent to a surrounding wall to the west and a chapel to the south. The exterior is made of random rubble with roughly squared quoins and margins, voussoirs, and features a steeply pitched roof with eyelid dormer openings.

The east elevation, facing the courtyard, is very low with a steeply pitched roof, featuring an off-centre right timber door and a small window on the left. The west elevation, facing the garden, has a raised basement with a central door and tiny windows flanking it, below paired dormer windows at the centre and rooflights on either side. The windows are timber sash and case with an 8-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with thackstanes, as well as ashlar-coped crowstepped skews with beak skewputts.

The surrounding walls and sundial to the southwest date from the mid-19th century, likely incorporating remains of a block that was demolished in 1781. These buttressed rubble walls are on raised ground overlooking the River Tay and feature ashlar gablet coping. Attached to the south end of the wall is a square sundial from 1957, which has a ball finial and a hollow dial in a square panel on each face. The north and south faces have gnomons, while the east face is incised with the carving '1957 GANG WARILY'.
