Description

South Lodge at Saltoun Hall is a gate lodge designed by W Beattie Brown in 1913, showcasing the Scottish Arts and Crafts style. The building consists of a single-storey block that interlocks with a two-storey U-shaped block featuring a jettied first floor. It is constructed from rubble pink sandstone with ashlar dressings and has a cavetto cornice. The main doorway is centrally located on the north side of the single-storey block, set beneath a loggia created by eaves that sweep down across the centre and to the right, connecting with the two-storey block. The door has a small-pane upper panel and is framed by timber piers and a carved fleuron on the loggia's fascia.

To the left, there is a bowed two-storey bay with a ground floor window that has a bronze memorial panel above it. The eastern return elevation features a canted timber window on the ground floor and a first-floor window with a cavetto surround that breaks the eaves in a shaped dormer head. There is a later extension and an added dormer window at the rear. The windows include a small-pane glazing pattern in both sash and case and casement styles, topped with grey-green slates.

The quadrant walls and piers are made of ashlar-coped rubble, with the piers being corniced and constructed from channelled, squared rubble with polished panels. The entrance features decorative wrought-iron gates, consisting of two leaves for the drive and a pedestrian gate flanking the entrance.
