Rum, Kinloch Castle, Stables

Stable(s) (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Kinloch Castle stables stand on Rum as a nineteenth-century stable block, still marked in the national record though no longer listed as protected. They may have served the castle when people still kept horses there, and they may have fallen silent when the estate changed hands or abandoned the island. The stones remain a clue to that lost rhythm, waiting for a visitor to imagine hooves on stone and a keeper calling the animals home.

Built in the 19th century, Rum, Kinloch Castle, Stables were part of the Kinloch Castle estate on the island of Rum in the Scottish Inner Hebrides.
