Description
North and South Lodges, along with their gates, piers, screen walls, gardener’s cottage, public shelter, and a screen wall linking to Gannochy Bridge, were probably largely built in 1791. The lodges are arranged symmetrically. The gate piers are of plain circular ashlar, with coursed rubble screen walls flanking them. The lodges themselves are of coursed rubble construction, one storey in height, featuring simple tripartite windows to the front and broad-eaved piended roofs. They retain their original sash windows. Rubble walls extend to the north and south. The wall to the south connects to Gannochy Bridge and incorporates a moulded footgate, likely re-used from another location. A public open-sided shelter stands to the north, with a pitched stone-slated roof, supported by two columns and featuring a gable with a pediment.
The gardener's cottage is constructed of rubble and was originally one storey, with two windows and a central Venetian door set within a slightly advanced central bay, under a bracketed cornice. The roof was raised in the early 19th century to incorporate two piended dormers. It has a slate roof and features four-pane sashes. Cameron’s “Fettercairn” (illustrated on page 123) provides further details.
