Description
The gate piers and gates at Bowbutts House on Bruce Terrace in Kinghorn are likely from the 18th century. They consist of a pair of cylindrical ashlar gate piers that are topped with cornices and flat coping, each crowned with elaborately moulded urns. The gates themselves are made of later ironwork.
The enclosing boundary walls are also from the 18th century and feature high, semicircular-coped rubble construction. The lower boundary wall at the rear of Bowbutts House, located to the northwest, is capped with clinker stone.
