Stables, Kylnadrochit

The property comprises a large house and stables, dating circa 1900 and built in a Scottish Renaissance style by George Mackie Watson. The house is asymmetrical, with two storeys and an attic, and includes an extended single-storey and attic service wing to the north gable. It is constructed from coursed rubble with tooled dressings. The main entrance is located under a segmental pediment in the right bay of the wide, irregular west elevation. The south elevation features three wide bays, with an advanced left bay containing paired windows. The first floor and attic are set under a shaped gable, accompanied by a semi-octagonal bay window with a parapet to the right. The east elevation incorporates a canted bay and a canted oriel. The roof is slate covered, with stone ridges and includes gabletted dormers, crowstepped gables, and ridge and end corniced stacks.

The stables are arranged in a U-plan, consisting of a single storey and attic structure. The main block is three bays wide, with a central carriage house flanked by round-headed recesses, containing a window to the right and a stable entrance to the left. A louvred bellcote sits centrally, with loft dormers above, and ridge and end stacks. The roof is slate covered with a stone ridge.

The land was purchased in 1898 from the Duke of Gordon and Richmond by Lady Grant Suttie of Balgone and Prestongrange. Construction of the house was overseen by Rev George Smith, originally from Strathavon and Minister of Prestonpans. The property was later sold back to the Duke of Richmond and Gordon to replace the Lecht Lodge, which was destroyed by fire in 1915. It currently operates as a shooting lodge hotel. Mackie Watson's architectural practice was extensive, encompassing domestic, civic, ecclesiastical, and restoration works.
