Description

Glenrinnes Lodge is a late 19th-century shooting lodge, likely designed by Brown and Watt from Aberdeen, which includes earlier fabric in its service wing. The building is primarily a two-storey and attic Scottish Renaissance house featuring a long, irregular gabled southwest entrance front and a drawing room wing, which is slightly later in construction and set back to the southeast. The exterior is harled with tooled ashlar dressings and margins.

The main block has a projecting gabled, irregular four-bay center, with a crenellated round-headed porch located in the re-entrant angle, featuring an ornate panelled double-leaf door beneath a fanlight. The two-storey, two-bay drawing room wing is set back to the right and includes a canted window in the southeast return gable. The ground and first-floor windows are transomed and mullioned, with pedimented detailing on the center gable windows. The first-floor windows at the front are adorned with ornate crow-stepped or segmental stilted pediments that break the wallheads, and they feature multi-pane glazing.

A drum tower stairwell projects at the northwest with a conical roof, while an angle bartizan is located at the south. The roof is covered with local slate, and the building boasts fine rainwater goods, including dragon head motifs, cable-moulded rhones, and embossed down-pipes.

Inside, the lodge retains restrained original fittings in the public rooms. The entrance hall features a staircase that is screened by a three-arched Ionic arcade. The doorways are lugged and moulded, and there are panelled doors throughout. The library and dining room have lugged and moulded chimneypieces, while the drawing room contains a simple four-centred arched granite chimneypiece.
