Stables, 1821 -2, built under superintendence of James Ferguson, probably to Gillespie Graham's design, as a Gothick eyecatcher, with crenellated staircase tower flanked by stables, and coach houses at each end. Conversion to visitor centre, with octagonal restaurant extension, by the Boys Jarvis Partnership, 1984. Inside, the marble chimneypiece with grape carvings came from Ferguslie Park, Paisley (demolished 1980s), so presumably it is by Hippolyte Jean Blanc or Whytoch & Reid.
