North Gate-Lodge, Norton House Hotel, Edinburgh

The North Gate-Lodge at Norton House Hotel in Edinburgh is a single-storey, asymmetrical lodge designed in the style of David Bryce in the mid-19th century. It features a gabled roof and is constructed from stugged, coursed sandstone with ashlar detailing and chamfered reveals, along with stugged quoins.

On the east elevation, there is a gabled structure with a canted bay to the left, which is corbelled to a square at the eaves, and a blank shield in the gablehead. To the right, a gabled porch has a panel above the door. A lower gabled wing extends to the north, featuring a window in its gable. At the rear, there is a rendered porch addition. The lodge has small windows throughout.

The north and south elevations include an advanced flue in the center of the gable, with small windows on either side. The windows have been replaced with plate glass. The roof has broad eaves and is covered with fish-scale slate. Circular ashlar stacks sit on pedestal bases with octagonal cans.

The gatepiers, dating from the late 19th century, are made of sandstone ashlar. They have a battered base with a deeply moulded course between the base pier, a stepped entablature, and scrolled features below a pyramidal capping. There is also a coped ashlar quadrant wall.

Additionally, random rubble walls are present to the south of the lodge.
