Statement of Special Interest

Part of Kailzie Gardens. This game larder is part of the surviving landscape features from Kailzie House, demolished in the later 20th century. Kailzie was built in 1803 for Robert Nutter Campbell, a Glasgow merchant. It was described as a "very elegant 2-storey and basement mansion of moderate size with a bowed garden front". All that remains of the house complex is this small building that was across the burn from the courtyard buildings; a pond now marks the spot of the main house. The game larder is sited to the SE of the dovecote (listed separately). Originally it had a walled enclosure to the rear of the building, extending into what is now the children's' play area. The interior is divided into 2, with each side having its own entrance door leading into a room with a window looking towards the house and main drive and a small window to the rear overlooking the former enclosure and dovecote. The interiors are quite basic with benches running the length of one side. To the N, the remains of a smaller, older structure can be found. Half of the front wall is in situ and a door once led into the room lit by small quatrefoil windows. This area is serviced by a smaller drive, which runs diagonally from the main drive and across the front of this building. It meets up with a plain stone bridge (less formal than the ball finialled main drive bridge) that crosses the burn and once led to the courtyard offices attached to the main house. The Kailzie landscape is open to the public and contains a tea room and shop within the stable courtyard, as well as a walled garden with a 'Regency' style greenhouse (all listed separately). Listed as a good example of a relatively unaltered estate building.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
