Description

Edinburgh Gatelodge, located at Dalmeny House in Edinburgh, is an early 19th-century single-storey L-plan gate lodge that underwent refurbishments around 1825. It is constructed from stugged and droved squared sandstone, featuring ashlar sandstone dressings, a base course, and a nearly continuous wooden eaves course. The gableheads have open pediments, and the windows are adorned with rectangular hoodmoulds and chamfered arrises. The south gable displays revealed rafter ends.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has two bays. It features a central two-leaf timber door set within a wooden porch that projects from the gable on the left. This porch is flanked by single lying-pane windows, and the structure includes a canopy supported by timber posts, creating an open verandah with four-cornered arch decoration. To the right, there is a single window in the bay and another window on the return elevation facing east.

The west elevation consists of three bays, with a bipartite window in the central projecting bay, flanked by another bipartite window to the right and a single window with a projecting cill in a harled bay to the left. There is a tooled and painted name panel at the outer right quoin, reading "Edinburgh Gate."

The north elevation features a later addition that is harled and includes a modern window on the left. The east elevation has a modern timber door to the left of the projecting bay and is also harled with tooled quoins.

The lodge predominantly has bipartite windows and is topped with a graded grey slate roof, which has a piended hipped gable on the south side. Tall, octagonal ashlar sandstone ridge stacks, capped with circular cans, rise from the roof, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods. The gatepiers are made of stone, polygonal in shape, and topped with shallow pyramidal caps.
