gable

Chicken barns have massive fans at each end of the gable roof.

These furry creatures are a familiar sight, known to roost in chimneys and in the gables of old churches.

Some are simple, but others have brightly painted roofs, gables and even chimneys.

The Federation also has plans for a gable end mural near where the book was printed to commemorate the lasting legacy of Robert Burns in the town.

The mural covers the gable end wall of a 19th Century Category C listed building overlooking the narrow School Wynd.
