Boathouse, Gosford House

This earlier 19th-century boathouse is constructed from bull-faced cream sandstone and sits within a bank overlooking the lake. The gabled elevation features a large segmental arch. Broad ashlar coped stairs lead down to the lake, with a wallhead die supporting large lions in a reclining position. The roof is piended at the rear, with a doorway set within a bull-faced, pedimented porch topped with a ball finial. The boathouse forms an attractive group with other buildings on the Gosford Estate, and further details are recorded in the notes for Gosford House. Historic drawings from 1808 show the pleasure grounds of Gosford, and it is also depicted on an Ordnance Survey map of Haddingtonshire from 1854.
