description
The stables were built between 1807 and 1809. The Scottish architect William Stirling is responsible for the design . The Doune Stable is largely isolated in the hamlet of Buchany around two kilometers northwest of Doune. The A84 trunk road , which runs directly to the south, connects the building to the road network.
There are four elongated buildings that completely enclose an inner courtyard, resulting in a square floor plan. Along the main facade, the masonry consists of layered masonry made of stone blocks. A tower with an octagonal floor plan rises above the gateway on the southwest side . The clock tower closes with a short helmet. The clock shows the year of construction 1809. The two-story buildings close with gable roofs . The southwest flank, which closes with a hipped roof , is an exception .
