Early 20th century cricket pavilion, in the grounds of the former Sunnyside Hospital (NO76SW0063), which ceased to be used as a hospital in 2012. Single-storey, butterfly plan, boarded timber away team cricket pavilion comprising a central hexagonal pavilion and a pair of adjoining weather boarded storage huts. The pavilion has a gabled porch to the north with rustic timber supports, barge boarding, a slatted timber entrance door, decorative finials, square and pointed-arch window openings and boarded window openings. There is a pavilion roof to the central pavilion, with red tiles to both the pavilion and porch roofs and ridge tiles to the porch. Piended roofs are to the outer huts, with corrugated iron roofing. There is a later, brick and rendered toilet block to the rear. The interior (2012) is timber lined with a timber bench around the wall.
This a rare survival of a timber cricket pavilion, built to a butterfly plan and with some decorative detailing around the porch. It is one of two cricket pavilions on the hospital site, situated at diagonal ends of the grassy site. This pavilion was for the use of the away team and differs from the Home Team Pavilion (NO76SW0183) in plan form and also has the addition of a decorative porch. It is a significant addition to the wider Sunnyside Hospital complex. Sunnyside Asylum developed in the 19th century as a replacement for the first lunatic asylum in Scotland at Montrose. The former hospital consisted of a related group of buildings, informally set in a semi-parkland setting on a hillside overlooking Montrose. The site is significant in remaining largely intact and retaining the integrity of a self-contained psychiatric hospital. Patients at the hospital were encouraged to take part in outdoor activities and a variety of sports facilities were provided in the grounds, including a large grassy area for cricket and football, tennis courts, a curling pond and a bowling green. Standing building survey of the pavilion was carried out in 2018 ahead of redevelopment of the hospital site.
