Gates And Gatepiers, Screen Walls, Amhuinnsuidhe Castle

The gates and gatepiers, along with the screen walls at Amhuinnsuidhe Castle, were likely constructed around 1867 as part of the work by architect David Bryce. This screen wall and gateway serve as a visual announcement of arrival at the mansion. Currently, the roadway crosses a cattle-grid, with a two-leaf vehicle gate located on the north side of the roadway and a pedestrian gate directly opposite on the south side. The gates and gatepiers are made of cast iron, featuring spike-headed rails. The screen walls on either side are built from imported stugged ashlar, while the wall to the south is constructed from rubble and steps downwards like castellations towards the river. This river has been designed into a cascade that flows into a dammed pool, contributing to the overall "country house" concept.
