A good example of a 19th century kennels with, unusually, runs to both elevations. The kennels form an integral part of the Callendar Estate and were an essential part of a hunting estate's ancillary structures. It appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. It is likely that the aggrandising pedimented portico is of a later date. It may have been added in the 1870s when Brown & Wardrop was remodelling Callendar House.
