Description
The Tollhouse at Lanark Racecourse, built around 1820 by engineer Thomas Telford, is a single-storey structure with three bays, constructed from sandstone and topped with a Scotch slate roof.
The front elevation features ashlar stonework, with coursed rubble at the base of the side bays. The central bay is symmetrical and bowed, containing a door flanked by single windows, and is topped with a conical roof that has a cast-iron finial. The side bays include windows set in shallow recesses and are capped with plain coped chimney stacks.
The side and rear elevations are made of rubble with dressed quoins. At the southern end, there is a short wing with a piend roof, along with lean-to and flat-roofed modern extensions that are roughcast. The building has open verges with plain bargeboards.
