Scope and Content Kennels, Tongue Mains Farm, Highland, from south Tongue Mains steading was built on the huge Sutherland estate which, by 1873, comprised almost 1.3 million acres, more than 90% of the county. It was built in 1843 to a design by Sir Charles Barry adapted by Alexander Coupar and was intended for use with the nearby Tongue House. This shows the dog kennels from the south. The structure has two runs with concrete floors and iron bar cages. The shed is clad in sheet metal with a pitched roof and concrete floor divided into three, the outside parts for dogs, the central part for a small food boiler. Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860) was responsible for the design of the Sutherland's main seat, Dunrobin Castle, which has a decidedly French influence. Much of Barry's interior was destroyed by a fire in 1915 so the interior seen today (the house is open to the public) is mainly the work of the Scottish architect, Sir Robert Lorimer (1864-1929).
