Statement of Special Interest

Old Lodge, together with its close knit group of ancillary buildings, presents an interesting survival clearly showing the development of high quality vernacular traditions from the late 18th century through to the early years of the 20th century. The old Lodge has always been part of a larger estate complex, and is situated in an area of steeply wooded ground in a deep valley beside the Bridge of Dye, the second oldest bridge in Deeside (see separate listing), on the Cairn o' Mount road which used to be the main route south from Royal Deeside. The Old Lodge was formerly part of the Glendye Lodge estate which was built in 1779 for the Carnegie family. Sold to the Gladstones of Fasque, it remains part of the Fasque and Glen Dye Estate today (2007). Moving from west to east, the first edition Ordnance Survey Map shows Glendye Lodge, Nursery Bobbin Works, Kennels, the Old Lodge site much as it is today but with a well just south of the house, and an extensive formal garden immediately to the east of the Bridge and close to Bridge of Dye steading with a saw mill. By the time of the 2nd edition map, a lade had been built from just east of Glen Dye Lodge to an L-plan saw mill to the east of the Old Lodge which is simply named 'Nursery'. The formal garden to the east has gone and the steading has a smithy instead of a saw mill.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
