Ranges of different dates, mainly 17th-19th century; formerly stables to Pollok house, but at site of previous house (the Laighe Castle) and containing much re-used 17th century work; fragments at E corner said to be of c. 1536 tower. Mostly rubble, ashlar dressings, 2- storey elevations, small-paned sashes, tall stacks, slate roofs. RANGE TO NW incorporates handsome 17th century renaissance gateway, pend, margined openings, big roof ventilator; RANGE TO NE built in 3 stages, the centre probably a later 19th century rebuild, incorporating carved fragments, now with uniform eaves level and roof, further range to E; SW range also built in stages.
