Statement of Interest

Facing the former curling pond. The tree trunk form of the verandah echoes the earlier example at the Garden Cottage, Balmoral Castle, and various porches on the Balmoral and Birkhall estates.

A good summary example of sports ancillary on the estate, picking up estate livery in its detailing, and a marker of a sport forced to artificial rinks in the face of climate change.
