Standing Building Recording (7 April 2017)
Basic level building recording of the stable block took place in advance of a proposal to convert the N wing to a residential unit. The stable block was built as a courtyard steading in the late 18th century or early 19th century and was substantially rebuilt in the 1870s when the adjacent Friars Carse House was remodelled. The only elements surviving from the orginal building are the W wing and the lower sections of the N and W walls of the N wing. The W gable of the W wing also incorporates part of an earlier but undated wall, indicating that there was a structure on site before the steading was built. The E and S wings of the stable block probably date from the remodelling in the 1870s as do the doocot and pend in the W wing; it seems that the N wing was substantially rebuilt at the same time. Two wooden stalls survive in one of the rooms in the E wing and the outlines of four box stalls remain in the N wing.
