Description

South Lodge at Moy Hall is a single-storey and attic lodge, likely designed by John Rhind around 1869-70. The building has an L-plan layout featuring a tall octagonal entrance tower with machicolated and crenellated detailing, located in the re-entrant angle. This tower is adorned with small mock arrow-slit windows and connects to a taller circular stack positioned behind it.

At the rear (east), there is a single-storey, flat-roofed entrance porch. The lodge exhibits Scots Renaissance architectural details, including coped crowstepped gables and a bolection-moulded shallow-arched doorpiece. The entrance features a nailed and boarded door with decorative wrought-iron red hinges, and above it is a sculptured armorial panel. The wallhead is capped with a crenellated parapet.

The exterior is constructed from grey-squared and snecked granite ashlar, accented with pink polished ashlar dressings. The pitched slate roof is topped with red clay ridges. The windows are designed with mullioned bipartite and tripartite arrangements, featuring sloping cills at the attic gables that project out on corbels. The glazing consists of sash and case windows, with smaller windows having one lying pane over two panes, while larger windows have two panes in the upper sash and three below. The masonry is finished with thistle apex finials, and the west gable showcases deeply chamfered angles.

A notable feature is the three-light canted window bay that projects to the north. The rear porch includes a distinctive circular window set in red ashlar, with masonry glazing bars forming a Star of David. Originally, a similar window was present on the south elevation, which now features a square timber window in the circular opening.

The lodge is complemented by four gatepiers: two pairs of giant stone piers at the center gates and a smaller pair flanking a pedestrian gate. All piers are made of polished granite ashlar, with a square plan, deep plinths, chamfered edges, and machicolated and crenellated caps. The enclosing walls are low, coped, and curved. The elaborate cast-iron gates, designed by William Smith of Ness Iron Works in Inverness, feature spearhead and axe-head uprights.
