Thirlestane Castle, Stables stood beside the castle in 1844, a purpose-built home for horses that gave the estate its reach and energy. The stable may have held riding horses, carriage horses or working beasts for the lands around Thirlestane. Its stones no longer answer to that name, but the castle still carries the shape of the household that depended on them.
