Details Former stables, now in residential use, built in 1806 on the site of a church (NO56SE0026), and within the designed landscape (NO55NE0005) around Brechin Castle (NO55NE0040). It is shown on the 1st edition OS map (1862) as a quadrangular office range with an internal court, and a narrow entrance on the North-West corner and an enclosure off the East range. There are covered entrances in the centre of the North and South ranges. On the 2nd edition OS map (1901), the North range has been extended to the East into the enclosure, which now has a well shown within it. On the reviewed 2nd edition OS map (1922), this has been further extended to cover most of the North extent of the enclosure. The West range has been extended into the internal court, as has the East range. Presently, it remains much on the same plan, although a building has been added to the exterior of the Eastern extent of the enclosure, which is enclosed by a wall standing to a circa single-storey height. The South-facing elevation of the South range is constructed from ashlar. It is single-storey with windows in arches, and there is are central and end two-storey pavilions with pyramidal roofs, the central one having a pend entrance. All other ranges are single-storey, and the North range has a central arched pend containing a screen of two Doric columns. There are piended slate roofs to the earlier ranges, and flat or lean-to roofs to those added after 1901.
