Larbert House, now unroofed, is situated to the W of an ornamental loch to the W of Larbert. The house now lies to the SSE of the recently completed new Royal Scottish National Hospital (NS88SE 271). The main (middle) section was completed about 1820, but the subsequent Victorian additions which include an ornate conservatory and Porte cochere with doric columns. The building was latterly utilised as staff accommodation by the adjacent mental hospital. The house is depicted as roofed on the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch (and 25-inch) map (Stirlingshire, 1865, sheet xxiv) and on all the subsequent historical editions of the OS maps. The current OS digital maps show the house as being roofed, but a fire about five years ago has led to its removal. (RCAHMS)
