Description
The Pony Stables at Balmoral Castle, designed by J and W Smith in 1851, is a single-storey, nine-bay gabled range of stables with a hayloft above. It is located to the east of the main stables and coach house. The building is constructed from squared and coursed granite. The west elevation features nine doors of varying widths for pedestrians and stables, six of which are now blocked with timber boarding and have windows inserted. Above the central bay, there is a piend-roofed, slate-hung dormer for the hayloft. Additionally, there is another hayloft opening in the gablehead of the south return, situated above an off-centre door that has been blinded. The roof is covered with grey slates and has a lead ridge, while the skews are finished with ashlar coping.
