Description
The lodges and gateway at Cramond House in Kirk Cramond, Edinburgh, date from around 1790 and were restored around 1960. These single-storey, square-plan classical lodges are positioned on either side of a central semi-circular arch with a pediment, featuring pilasters on the outer left and right. The arch is made of polished ashlar sandstone, while the lodges are constructed from droved ashlar. They include a continuous base course, a moulded string course with a cornice, and a coped parapet above. Decorative carved roundels with inset foliate detail are symmetrically placed.
On the south (entrance) elevation, there are modern two-leaf boarded timber gates set within the central pedimented voussoir-arch. Flanking spandrels feature roundels, and a smaller single roundel is centered in the tympanum above. The structure is topped with a single ashlar stack and cornice, along with a circular can. Round-arched timber panelled shutters cover the single windows at ground level in the outer left and right bays, which have iron hinges. The elevation also includes a plain frieze, cornice, and roundels aligned above the pilasters in the outer bays.
