Stables, kennels, loupin-on-stane and gatepiers of Balmuir House (NO43SW0009), dating from the 18th and 19th century. Stables, dating from the early 18th century, are single-storey, rectangular-plan, built of harl pointed rubble masonry, with irregular pink sandstone quoins and a stone slate roof with flat-coped skews and moulded skew ends. The west gable has an arrow slit ventilator and the east gable forms the southwest corner of Balmuir House walled garden. The interior has the stalls removed, but with boarded walls and a coomb ceiling.
The kennels date from the late 19th century and adjoin onto the north elevation of the stables, consisting of three brick built lean-to kennels, with plain cast-iron enclosing railings on a low rubble wall, with a ruinous rubble built enclosure at the left.
The loupin-on-stane and gatepiers are situated at the southwest angle aligned with the west gable. They consist of large stugged and squared rubble blocks forming five steps and two segmental-headed monolithic gatepiers, one attached to the loupin-on-stane.
The stable is probably contemporary with the original part of Balmuir House. The moulded skew ends are similar to those at the dovecot (NO43SW0074).
