West Lodges, Gordon Castle

West Lodges at Gordon Castle were designed by John Baxter between 1791 and 1792. The structure features an entrance arch and crenellated screen walls, along with flanking lodges that have modern additions at the rear. The building is constructed from tooled ashlar with polished ashlar dressings, and the rear has harled additions.

The tall central crenellated triumphal arch connects to single-storey, single-bay lodges through a screen wall. Each lodge has a single pedestrian entrance on either side of the main entrance, and each lodge features a single window set in a shallow round-headed panel.

At the rear, square single-bay mirrored lodges project, each with an entrance facing the driveway and a set-back crenellated elevation that includes an additional entrance leading to the modern rear additions. The original doors and windows are set in shallow round-headed panels with 12-pane glazing. The rear features coped wallhead stacks, and the shallow piended roofs are concealed by crenellated wallheads, while the modern additions have slate roofs.
