Statement of Interest

A simple, but neat and very little-altered group of stables and associated buildings. Although the stables are situated on private land, the rear elevation with its emphatic catslide roof is visible from the public footpath to the Queen's Well.

These stables were erected to serve Invermark Lodge, which was built as a shooting lodge for the Earl of Dalhousie in about 1847. Although various other ancillary buildings, such as kennels and the deer larder were erected in later 19th century, the stables are the only offices shown on the 1st edition OS map and must therefore have been built at the same time as the house. The 1926 plan marks the uses of all the buildings and shows that by that date the coach house was being used as a 'motor garage', that the addition behind the coach house contained a smithy, cattle shed, stick house and bothy, and that the W range contained a stable, harness room and chauffeur's room. The E range is marked as a dwelling house, and was presumably occupied by the head groom.
