The Lodge, Atholl Palace Hotel

The Lodge, probably designed by Andrew Heiton in 1875, serves as a Baronial lodge house associated with the Atholl Palace Hotel. It is a two-storey and attic structure with three bays and a turreted design, topped with a pavilion roof. The exterior is constructed of bull-faced, squared, and snecked rubble masonry with dressed ashlar raised margins.

The north (entrance) elevation features a window to the right of the centre at ground level, with a blind panel close to the eaves above. A canted angle extends to the outer right, incorporating a ground floor window, a corbel to the first floor, and a five-light dormer window above, which leads to a finialled conical roof projecting from the pavilion roof. This roof incorporates delicate cast-iron brattishing and a small rooflight on the left side. A projecting conical-roofed tower sits in the bay to the left, with a narrow ground floor window, a corbelled first floor with a small window facing northwest, and a gabled porch in the re-entrant angle to the right. The porch has stylised turned columns on dwarf walls, projecting brackets, and segmental-arched bargeboarding to a swept roof topped with a decorative cast-iron finial. A panelled timber door, complete with decorative cast-iron hinges, a narrow plate glass fanlight, and flanking lights forms the entrance.

The west elevation has a blind panel to the ground floor, above which a corbel course gives way to a slightly advanced bay with a window that breaks the eaves into an attenuated piended dormerhead. A prominent tower is positioned to the right.

The southwest corner tower is conical-roofed and features three windows on each floor, a corbelled dividing course, and a decorative cast-iron finial.

The south elevation displays a bay to the left of the centre with a blind panel to the ground floor, set within an advanced chimney breast that breaks the eaves into a dominant stack shouldered to the right with can dividers. A multi-paned door is located in the bay to the right of the centre, with a first-floor window breaking the eaves into a dormerhead as on the west elevation.

The east elevation has been altered, featuring a flat-roofed extension to the ground floor and a tower, matching the north elevation, to the outer right.

The windows are timber sash and case, containing four panes and plate glass. The roof is covered with grey slates and features squared rock-faced rubble stacks with ashlar coping. Deeply overhanging eaves and decorative bargeboarding to the porch are also present.

The property is approached via two pairs of two-stage, rock-faced rubble, circular gatepiers, capped with coursed ashlar conical caps supporting traditional cast-iron lanterns. A single pair of two-leaf, decorative ironwork gates lead to rubble boundary walls with flat ashlar coping.
