Description

East Craigie Gatelodge, located at Dalmeny House in Edinburgh, is a gate lodge likely designed by William Wilkins in the 19th century. It has an L-plan layout with later additions, constructed from stugged, squared, and coursed sandstone, featuring droved sandstone dressings, projecting cills, and long and short quoins.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has five bays. A modern door is positioned at the center within a re-entrant angle, with a canted bay to the left that contains bipartite timber windows with timber mullions. To the right of the entrance door, there is a single window.

On the west elevation, there is a single window to the left and a filled-in doorway to the right, with remnants of a hoodmould visible. A tooled and painted name panel on the quoin to the right reads 'E. Craigie Gate'.

The north elevation features two bays, including a single window to the left and another window in a projecting center bay topped with a catslide roof. The right side is a blank bay.

The east elevation is blank. The lodge has timber lying and 4-pane sash and case windows, a graded grey slate roof, tall ridge and wallhead stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The boundary wall is made of random rubble topped with semicircular coping. The gatepiers are polygonal, round-headed ashlar posts with chamfered arises.
