Stables, laundry, creamery, stable cottage, walled garden and other outbuildings of Crimonmogate House, depicted on historic OS maps. A piggery (NK05NW0047) lies a short distance to the north. The current arrangement of buildings was constructed in 1825, part of the remodelling of the house and estate after the estate passed into the owenership of Charles Bannerman. The laundry (Listed Grade C), and octagonal dairy (Listed Grade B) are both attributed to the design of Archibald Simpson, who also designed the remodelled north front of the mid 18th century quadrangular stable block (Listed Grade B) with its neo-Greek octagonal louvre. To the south of the stable block is a plain curved rubble wall (LIsted Grade C) with an early 19th century consoled doorpiece. This is either the successor of or the same wall as shown on a plan of 1776 when it formed the north wall of a traditional productive walled garden. Following the reorganisation of the estate and construction of a new larger walled garden to the southwest of the policies this older garden probably acquired a more ornamental character. Photographic recording of the creamery and steading carried out in 2013 ahead of proposed development.
