East Lodge, Candacraig House

East Lodge at Candacraig House is a well-detailed single-storey Jacobean gate lodge built in 1835 by John Smith of Aberdeen. It is located at the northern boundary of the Candacraig House grounds. The lodge features distinctive curvilinear and straight gables topped with spike finials, a polygonal-roofed 'viewing' bay with an attached pier that has a ball finial, arrowslits, and paired diamond-aligned stacks. The building is constructed from red granite ashlar, with a deep base course, chamfered reveals, and raked cills. It includes timber transoms and mullions.

The entrance elevation faces east towards the driveway, showcasing a projecting polygonal bay that incorporates a coat of arms within a stone pedimented dormer window at the front. To the left, there is a timber door set in a recessed bay. The polygonal bay is mirrored on the northern elevation, which faces the road. The southern elevation features an elaborate curvilinear gable that also displays a coat of arms, along with another stone pedimented window that breaks the eaves on the left side.

The lodge has a multi-pane glazing pattern in its timber sash and case windows, and it is roofed with graded grey slates. The chimney stacks are cavetto-coped ashlar with cans, while the skews are stepped ashlar-coped with block skewputts and stone finials.
