Dinwoodie Lodge Hotel

Dinwoodie Lodge Hotel is a mid-19th century building, likely originally intended as a shooting lodge, although earlier fabric has been incorporated into the structure. The building’s style is reminiscent of the work of David Bryce. It is principally arranged as a T-plan, with a two-storey, two-bay front range facing south. This front features a prominent pair of canted ground floor bays which corbel outwards to form a square shape above them at the first floor level, and with a gable above. There is no central doorway on this front. A low rear wing has been altered by the addition of a modern sun lounge to the west.

The building uses contrasting materials; roughly-coursed whinstone is combined with red ashlar dressings, and features projecting timber-bracketed eaves. The original sash windows retain vertically-proportioned panes, and the roofs are covered in graded slates. A timber brace and finial is present at the east gable head, and a finial sits atop the centre dormer on the south front, positioned between the outer bays. Ashlar chimney stacks are also present.

Lower ranges extend north and northeast, forming a courtyard. To the rear is an extensive group of single-storey outbuildings constructed of whitewashed rubble.

The property was owned by John Rogerson, proprietor of Wamphray, in 1857. In 1897, the forty-merk land of Dinwoodie was purchased by Sir Robert Buchanan Jardine of Castlemilk. More recently, the building has been used as a hotel.
