Description

The West Gate-Piers at The Park in Culross is an entrance gate to Culross Park House, located to the north of Park Lodge. It features a pair of chamfered square-plan piers with a base course and coping stone. A tall wall curves to the north, decreasing in height as it extends northwards. This wall continues west along Gallows Loan, constructed of rubble with slightly projecting dressed stone blocks at the top and re-used corniced coping stone to the west. The wall also runs southwards to the west entrance gate, where there is a break for access to a footpath.

To the south, there is a corniced square-plan pier with a conical coping stone, alongside a snecked quadrant wall with ashlar coping leading to a chamfered and corniced square-plan gatepier. A pair of metal gates is present, with a matching gatepier to the right and a swept wall to the outer pier, which also features a corniced conical coping stone. The rubble wall continues south down Erskine Brae, curving eastwards to run north along Kirk Street, with a doorway located south of Erskine Brae. The wall continues northwards, bending west with a moulded ashlar doorpiece that leads to the former gardens of Culross Park House. Finally, the wall continues north to join the eastern entrance gate, with a pier at the angle featuring a conical coping stone by the entrance gatepiers.
