NS 232 102 The original kitchens of Culzean Castle (NMRS NS20NW 1) were recorded during conservation works in March 1999. A number of significant features were recorded including the early flue arrangement relating to stewing stoves within the apsidal NE end of the kitchen. A historical assessment related the original construction to the first phase of Robert Adam's reconstruction of Culzean of around 1777, although there were significant design changes during building. Further modification occurred to the SW part of the kitchen (the scullery) during construction in c 1785. A receipt from Carron Company, dated 1790, may relate to the fitting out of the kitchen.
