The Stable Court is situated about 193m N of Craigiehall House (NT17NE 29.00) and N of the former walled garden NT17NE 169).
Built around a rectangular court-yard are, to the W a three storey with central tower with bell turret and weathercock. A clock is located centrally on the tower elevation. The clock is driven by two hanging weights and has a seven day mechanism. The clock was made for William Edward Hope-Weir in 1862 by Charles N Brown of Edinburgh (Innes 1996). Below the clock in a carved panel are the Coat-of-Arms of William Edward Hope-Weir and Lady May Emily Boyle, suggesting a date for the modernisation of the block to sometime between 1843 and 1872. A date of 1757 can be found above one of the four stone arches along with carved intials 'AA' above another arch.
To the N and S are two single storey wings, the one to the S now in use as a chapel.
Stone gate posts to the E are dated 'ANNO 1749'. In addition one gate pier has lettering 'CAR H W Posuit'. The gate posts are not in their original position and appear to have been moved from the E drive.
Originally built as stables and farm offices in the mid-18th century, further 19th century alterations included a farmyard, barns and various sheds connected to agriculture.
The main building is now in use by the Royal Logistic Corps.
