Summary

Description

Gatelodge dating to the early 20th century, possibly incorporating mid-19th century fabric. Single storey, L-plan lodge with lower rear jamb. Squared and coursed sandstone rubble with polished sandstone margins, chamfered reveals. Jerkin-headed gables. Droved quoins.

East elevation: porch in re-entrant angle, jerkin-roofed with terracotta finial. Two-leaf boarded door with barred four-pane upper glazed panels. Tripartite window to left, ashlar mullions. Gable advanced to right, canted bay window at centre with slate half-piend canopy.

North elevation: shouldered wallhead stack at centre, flanking windows to outer right and left.

South elevation: gable with barred window at centre. Recessed jamb to left, rendered with single window at centre.

Lattice leaded windows. Grey slate roof, stone ridge. Coped wallhead stack.

Gatepiers: circa 1900 incorporating earlier masonry. Ashlar, cushion-rusticated piers with cornice and decorative urn finial, buttressed at rear. Pier to right covered with ivy.

Gates: late 17th century, diagonal railings with decorative wrought-iron panels. Details similar to Castle Gogar stableyard gateway (listed with Castle Gogar, see LB27092). Wrought iron overthrow removed but located behind right wall adjacent to lodge.

Statement of Special Interest

The gates are said to have come from Caroline Park, Edinburgh. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland Inventory notes that the original gates were removed to Sauchieburn, Stirlingshire. Castle Gogar and related buildings and Castle Gogar Bridge are listed separately (see LB27092 and LB27102).

The gatelodge was previously thought to date from the mid-19th century. Ordnance Surveys Maps, however, show that the mid-19th century gatelodge located to the east of the entrance road was rebuilt to the west of the entrance road sometime between 1914 and 1938.

Listed building record revised in 2018.

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.
