South Lodge, Craigston Castle

South Lodge at Craigston Castle is a 2-storey, L-plan Baronial gate lodge, built in 1885. It is constructed from local rubble red sandstone, featuring tooled ashlar dressings and hoodmoulds made from the same material. The entrance porch is located in the re-entrant angle and is buttressed with round-arched openings and a parapet. A canted window on the south gable faces the driveway, with an inscribed memorial plaque below and a carved armorial above, topped with a carved heraldic lion finial at the apex. The lodge includes plate glass and 4-pane timber sash and case windows, mock square angle bartizans, capped crowsteps, and crenellated detailing on the corniced chimney stacks, all under slate roofs.

The entrance gates, gatepiers, and railings were also added in 1885. The gatepiers feature panelled banding and ball-finialled pyramidal caps on a billetted cornice, made of red tooled sandstone. They flank decorative cast-iron carriage gates and a single outer pedestrian gate, along with decorative cast-iron railings.
