Possibly Robert and James Adam, late 18th century (circa 1790). Pair of classical pedestals originally part of quadrant screen flanking forecourt to Fullarton House (demolished); set to N of stables. Whitewashed harl; sandstone ashlar dressings. Each comprising square-plan plinth (rusticated outer angles); square-plan pedestal above with engaged, fluted Doric columns to outer angles; niche to front with scallop carving beneath arched pediment (consoled keystone); plain, square-headed niche at rear. Full Doric entablature with decorative metope carving; consoled brackets to surmounting square-plan, corniced pedestal forming base for urn finial.
A distinctive pair of classical pedestals with a mass of intricate detailing. The scalloped niches, carved metopes, consoled upper pedestals and fluted columns are particularly noteworthy. Set to the W of Fullarton House (itself demolished in 1966), these are all that remain of a once impressive quadrant screen thought to date from the late 18th century. Commissioned in 1745 by William Fullarton of Fullarton, the house was subsequently altered by the Adam brothers in the 1790s and then, together with the estate lands, sold to the Duke of Portland in 1805. Set to the S of the pedestals, Fullarton?s former stables have since been converted into flats and are listed separately (see Isle of Pin Road, Fullarton Courtyard). An 18th century rubble grotto set to the N, and four gateless piers marking the original east entrance to the E are also listed separately.
