NT 5145 8415 In September 2007 we carried out an archive appraisal and historic building recording on the derelict stables building at Dirleton House. The work was commissioned to meet the requirements of a condition attached to planning consent to convert the building into a dwelling.
Documentary evidence and architectural style both suggest a date of c1825 for the construction of the stables building. It
appears to have been planned and built as a group with Dirleton House, its outbuildings and walled garden. The only change to the building was when an adjoining wall was removed between 1907 and 1938, and the corner of the stables was repaired. The stables were later reused for some industrial activity, and became roofless and derelict in the latter part of the 20th century.
Archive to be deposited with RCAHMS. Report to be deposited with East Lothian Council SMR and RCAHMS.
Funder: Mr and Mrs D Weir.
