Scope and Content Cart sheds from south-west, Steading and Dovecot, Stables, Keithick House, Perth & Kinross This shows a pair of cart sheds that were built between 1805 and 1810 with a farmhouse in the far right background. The sheds have piended (hipped) roofs and voussoirs (arches formed with wedge-shaped stones) above the entrances with wooden doors. The cart sheds stored the carts and implements used on the farm. The majority of the estate's income would probably have come from renting farms and the sale of livestock and crops. This group of farm buildings were the base for all the estate's agricultural operations. The design is functional rather than decorative but the red sandstone used in the construction is similar to that used in the castle. Keithick House was designed by David Whyte and built for W E Collinswood between 1818 and 1823. David Bryce (1803-76) changed the porch and offices in 1839, and Maclaren, Soutar & Salmond made further alterations in 1926. Morant painted an Adam Revival decorative scheme in the drawing room.
