Description
The structure comprises a public shelter, gate lodges, gate piers, a gardener’s cottage, screen walls, and a footgate, likely dating primarily from 1791. The symmetrical lodges and gate piers are constructed of plain circular ashlar with coursed rubble screen walls. The lodges are single-storey, featuring simple tripartite windows and broad-eaved piended roofs. They have original sash windows. The screen walls, built of coursed rubble, extend to the north and south. The wall to the south, linking to Gannochy Bridge, incorporates a moulded footgate, which may have been re-used from elsewhere. To the north stands an open-sided public shelter with a pitched stone-slated roof, and a front featuring two columns supporting a gable and pediment. The gardener's cottage is similarly of rubble construction, originally one storey with two windows and a central Venetian door set within a slightly advanced bay. The cottage has a bracketed cornice. Its piended roof was raised in the earlier 19th century and now includes two piended dormers, with four-pane sashes and a slate roof. Cameron’s "Fettercairn" provides further illustration of these features (page 123).
