Stable Courtyard, Boquhan Home Farm, Boquhan House

The Stable Courtyard, built in 1817 for General John Fletcher-Campbell, is a single-storey and attic, 7-bay neo-classical steading range with a prominent octagonal clock tower topped by an attenuated copper dome. The building is constructed of rendered rubble with rusticated pale sandstone ashlar dressings.

The south (principal) elevation features an ashlar round-arched entrance pend with a moulded pediment, leading to a square courtyard. A pair of slightly advanced pavilions flank the entrance, each with segmental-arched openings, piend roofs, and ball-and-spike finials. The north elevation has a pair of forestairs positioned left and right of the entrance, accompanied by eight segmental-arched openings with quatrefoil-pierced iron grates at mid height. A timber loft door and timber doorway break the eaves to the left.

The clock tower has a square base supporting an octagonal four-faced clock tower, each face divided by a round-arched window. It is topped by a moulded cornice and a tall metal dome with a weather-vane finial. Round-arched, multi-paned timber sash and case windows are present on the principal elevation, along with timber boarded loft openings. The roof is pitched and covered in grey slate, with cast iron rainwater goods.

The interior features cast iron columns, a concrete floor, and ceramic wall tiles. Southern ranges remodelled in the 19th century extend to the south, forming a quadrangle around the courtyard; some traditional timber glazing is incorporated here.

Located at Boquhan Home Farm, near Gargunnock, west of Stirling, the steading is a finely-proportioned classical building. Its tall, domed clock tower is a notable feature, reflecting the high status of the farm and its commitment to architectural quality and material excellence. The rusticated ashlar construction, onion-shaped copper dome, and moulded pediments all contribute to the building's architectural interest. General John Fletcher-Campbell established the Gargunnock Farmers Club in 1796, responsible for improvements to the estate through successful animal husbandry and farming practices. The building was previously listed as ‘Boquhan, Stables.’
