Allt-Na-Giubhsaich Cottage And Game Larder, Glenmuik

Allt-Na-Giubhsaich Cottage and Game Larder comprises a cottage, enlarged and extended, alongside a game larder, all situated in Glenmuik. The principal cottage dates back to the early 19th century, before 1806, and was further enlarged and joined to a second cottage to the west between 1848 and 1849. The game larder was constructed in the late 19th century.

The original cottage is rectangular and single-storey, initially three bays, extended to the east to create a four-bay arrangement with a T-plan addition at the rear. It is built of harled rubble stone with a partial rubble base course. Around 1860, a decorative, gabled, open timber porch was added to the centre of the original cottage, sheltering a panelled door topped by a two-pane fanlight. The porch features a four-centred opening supported by four timber trunk-columns linked by cusp-headed timber railings and includes a horseshoe emblem in the boarded gablehead, finished with swept eaves. Windows are present in each bay. A blank gable faces the left return, while the right return displays two narrow, widely spaced windows. The T-plan addition includes a two-bay link block running north, with two windows divided by a staged chimney breast and stack. The rear block has a similar stack at the centre of its north elevation, flanked on each side by three windows, one of which is a slit window; the gabled return elevations also have windows. A low, single-storey link passage connects the original cottage to the later cottage to the west.

The windows are primarily sash and case with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered in grey slates with clay ridge tiles, incorporating ashlar coped, raised skews and gablehead stacks.

The western cottage is single-storey with an attic that breaks the eaves. It is a three-bay building with a lean-to at the rear and connects to the original cottage. Built of harled stone, the south elevation features a boarded door at the centre with a letterbox fanlight. A small window sits above the door within a square-headed stone dormer. The outer bays each have a window at ground level and gaoled stone dormerheads above the windows. Blank return elevations are present. A window is centrally located at the rear, and a later piend-roofed dormer is positioned above. A lean-to addition flanks the left side, including a door. The windows have a mixture of four-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is grey slate with clay ridge tiles and raised ashlar coped skews, with gablehead stacks.

The game larder is located to the rear of the principal cottage. It is square in plan, with an open timber slatted construction on a concrete base. The front elevation features a pair of boarded doors flanked by slit windows, whilst the other elevations each have two tall, narrow louvred windows. The grey slate piended roof has swept, overhanging eaves and lead coping. A louvred timber ventilator sits at the apex, crowned with a pyramidal roof and ball finial.
