What is recorded here

Fernie Castle in Fife still wears its 19th century stables and kennels like a forgotten uniform. The main house has vanished, but the working buildings remain, preserving the shape of a household that once kept horses and dogs close at hand. They stand as evidence that grandeur was not only in halls and chambers, but also in the daily care of animals and the people who served them.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fernie Castle, Stables, Se Block and Kennels as Kennels (19th Century), Stable (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Fernie Castle, Stables, SE Block and Kennels were built in the 19th century, likely as part of a larger estate associated with a local landed family. The structures are important as examples of 19th-century rural estate architecture in Scotland.
