The stables originally belonged to Cairnhill House, a Georgian box of the same date also by Craig. Craig's house was remodelled in the Jacobean style by John Baird in 1841 and was itself demolished in 1991 leaving the stable block standing alone amidst a modern housing development. John Craig was a successful Glasgow merchant and architecture enthusiast. He carried out very few actual commissions but these included a similar stable court at Drumpellier House also in Lanarkshire which was reproduced from Craig's drawings at Newhailes, East Lothian.
