Quadrant Walls And Lamp Standards, Gatepiers, Entrance Gates, Balmoral Castle

The Quadrant Walls and Lamp Standards, Gatepiers, and Entrance Gates at Balmoral Castle were designed by William Smith in 1858, with the gates dated to 1919. The granite gatepiers feature stop-chamfered arrises, cornices, and ball finials, and are flanked by low quadrant walls made of squared granite with rounded coping. The decorative wrought-iron carriage gates consist of two leaves with gilded finials, cast by Waverley Foundry, and are stamped at intervals with "Waverley Best" alongside a dividing crown insignia. They also include circular panels displaying the ciphers 'GVR' and 'MR'.

Additionally, there is a pair of lamp standards created by Macfarlane and Company from Glasgow, positioned within the gates and flanking the drive. These lamp standards have moulded shafts with decorative brackets and lanterns topped with ball finials, which are capped in copper and feature a scalloped copper apron.
