NT 14156 74460 A historic building survey was carried out, on 23 October 2020, of a garden shed at Carlowrie Castle, Kirkliston, as part of a wider development which will see the conversion of the shed, the demolition of another existing garden shed and the erection of eleven free-standing timber-clad cabins.
The history of the shed relates directly to the construction of Carlowrie Castle in the mid-19th century, having been constructed in conjunction with the walled gardens. It likely remained unchanged throughout the 19th and 20th centuries with only maintenance of the stonework being undertaken. There is evidence to support the interior was rendered and painted (as seen in the niche in the N wall); however, this has now been removed or worn away. The main changes to the shed have come in the last ten years with the renovation of the roof, the creation of an interior wall to bear its weight and the addition of a sliding door and concrete floor.
