Accessing Scotland's Past Project

Accessing Scotland's Past Project

Most of the ancillary buildings attached to Mellerstain House were built in the mid-nineteenth century, but some are of eighteenth-century date. One such structure is the former stable block, now converted into cottages.

It is two-storeyed and rubble-built, with crow-stepped gables. A small wooden dovecot surmounts the roof.

A one-handed clock, dated 1735, has been placed in the gable wall. It was made by John Kirkwood and, until 1859 was located in the steeple of Lauder town hall.
