Tour Scotland photograph of row of houses, with crow stepped gables and roofs of Dutch tiles in Culross, Fife, Scotland. A crow-stepped gable, stepped gable, or corbie step is a stairstep type of design at the top of the triangular gable-end of a building. Early examples, from the 15th century onwards, are found in Denmark, England, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Switzerland, and Sweden. Crow-stepped gables were also used in Scotland as early as the 16th century.
