Description
East Lodge at Cawdor Castle is a single-storey, three-bay gabled gate lodge built in the mid-19th century, possibly by architects A & W Reid. The structure is made of tooled rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings.
The main entrance features a shouldered lintel, with a projecting canted window on the left that has bipartite windows on each of its two faces, and a bipartite window to the right of the entrance. At the rear, there is a two-bay wing with a secondary entrance. The lodge has 8-pane sash windows, crowstepped gables, and corniced stacks at both ends and along the ridge, topped with a slate roof.
