South Gate-Lodge, Newliston House

The South Gate-Lodge at Newliston House, designed by William Adam in the early 18th century, is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan former lodge. It features single-storey early additions to the east and west, along with a two-storey addition from the late 19th century at the rear. The building is constructed from rubble sandstone with squared and stugged dressings and painted margins, finished with harl pointing.

On the south elevation, there is a broad panelled door at the centre, flanked by windows at ground level, all of which have relieving arches. The first-floor windows extend through the eaves in slate piend-roofed dormerheads.

The east and west elevations each have a single bay gabled addition. The east addition includes a window to the south and a gablehead stack, while the west addition features a lean-to with a door on the north and south returns. Both additions have ashlar coped skews and shouldered stacks at the two-storey wallhead.

The north elevation is mostly blank, with a small window at ground level on the outer right. To the left, there is a two-storey addition with a stone forestair in the re-entrant angle, which includes iron railings and an under-stair window. The door on the west return breaks through the eaves in a piend-roofed dormerhead, and there is a wallhead stack to the north.

The windows throughout the lodge have an 8-pane glazing pattern in sash and case style, and the roofs are covered with grey slate piended roofs featuring lead flashings.
