Description

The gate piers at Queen's Park in Glasgow were possibly designed by David Hamilton around 1800, likely for Camphill House. The gateway features four chamfered square piers made of polished ashlar, with the two inner piers being larger than the outer ones. The gates are made of wrought iron and date from the late 19th or early 20th century.
