Screen Wall With Moulded Footgate, North And South Lodges, The Burn

This is a screen wall with moulded footgate, accompanied by two lodges, gatepiers, a gardener’s house, and a public shelter, situated at The Burn. The wall largely dates from around 1791. The screen wall connects to the north and south lodges. The lodges are symmetrical in design, featuring plain circular gatepiers with coursed rubble screen walls. The lodges themselves are of coursed rubble construction, one storey in height, with simple tripartite windows facing the front and broad-eaved piended roofs. They originally had sash windows. The screen wall to the south connects to Gannochy Bridge and incorporates a moulded footgate, which is likely to have been re-used from another location. To the north, a public shelter has an open design, featuring a pitched stone-slated roof, two columns supporting a gable and pediment. The gardener’s cottage is also of rubble construction, originally one storey with two windows and a central Venetian door, all set within a slightly projecting bay with a bracketed cornice. The roof was raised in the earlier 19th century, with the addition of two piended dormers; it is covered in slate and contains four-pane sashes.
