Pittencrieff Lodge And Gateway, Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline

Pittencrieff Lodge and Gateway, built in 1883, is a single-storey structure with an asymmetrical L-plan layout, serving as an entrance lodge and adjacent gateway. The building is constructed from coursed stugged sandstone with sandstone ashlar dressings. It features prominent gables, which were originally finialled, raised to a point mid-pitch on either side, except for the dormer-headed bipartite window on the north elevation. The gables include a circular panel with a quatrefoil motif at the center, and there are three mullioned tripartite canted windows on opposing sides. The lodge has a base course, an eaves band, architraved windows with chamfered reveals, and coped gables with moulded skewputts.

On the west (entrance) elevation, there is a gable end to the left and a mullioned canted tripartite window in the center. A gabled porch is set back to the right, featuring a shield inscribed with '1883', a basket-arched entrance with a chamfered reveal, and a panelled timber door with an arched fanlight. The side elevation of the wing to the right is blank.

The north elevation has a gabled bay to the outer right, which includes a breaking-eaves mullioned canted tripartite window set within a gabled dormer head. To the left, there is a mullioned bipartite window with a gabled dormer head, and a plain window to the far left.

The south elevation features a projecting section to the left with a finialled gabled left bay and a mullioned canted tripartite window in the center. The side of the entrance porch is set back to the left. The building has replacement UPVC windows and grey slate roofs, with an adjoining pair of corniced octagonal mid-pitch stacks on square bases to the west and a coped ridge stack on the main ridge, although the cans are missing.

The interior was not inspected in 1999.

The gateway consists of double timber gates with wrought-iron panels and flanking pedestrian gates, set at the center of a semicircular-plan railed wall with flanking piers. The ashlar piers are square in plan, each featuring a base course, panelled and chamfered sides, a frieze, and rounded coping that slightly projects at the base, adorned with a semicircular motif on each side and topped with a ball finial. The railed walls step up from the central gateway and have chamfered coping.
