Town Lodge, Duke's Gate, High Street, Dalkeith

Town Lodge at Duke's Gate on High Street in Dalkeith was designed by James Adam in 1794 and later extended and re-roofed in the second half of the 19th century. This single-storey, three-bay lodge is constructed of ashlar stone with a base course and features a string course below the eaves that forms a blocking course. The timber eaves course and broad raised cills add to its architectural detail, while a pebble-dashed extension is present.

The principal elevation has a centre bay that is advanced and flat-roofed, with a boarded door at the center flanked by narrow windows. There are additional windows in the bays to the left and right. The screen wall of the gates is attached to the right.

On the west elevation facing High Street, there is a flat-roofed advanced panel to the left with a bipartite window and narrow windows on the return. The right side features a pebble-dashed extension with a window and a small window flanking to the right. The lodge has variously sized small-pane glazing patterns in sash and case windows, and the roof is covered with grey slates, featuring a piend and platform design. Harled stacks are located below the ridge on the north and east pitches.

To the east, there is a rubble wall with a garden door, and to the left, a lean-to rubble cartshed is attached to a rubble wall running on an east-west axis. A boundary wall extends south from the lodge.

The estate walls are made of sandstone rubble with semicircular coping and run south from the lodge's south elevation, following the corner of Musselburgh Road. These walls incorporate 1 and 3 Musselburgh Road and continue around the estate, with a rubble-coped wall to the left of the lodge that runs east to meet the main policy wall.
