Gate And Gatehouse, Roman Camp Hotel, Callander

This is a single-storey and attic, three-bay house, likely dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th and 20th centuries. Originally, the house may have had no connection to the nearby Roman Camp Hotel, but it was later adopted as the hotel’s lodge or gatehouse due to its position at the head of a driveway leading from the main street. The building possesses good streetscape value, and its symmetrical design is apparent on the main, northeast facing elevation, featuring windows in the outer bays at ground floor level, with large rectangular dormer windows set into the eaves of the attic. A modern extension is located to the rear (southwest).

A small, circular turret sits on the angle between the northeast and southeast elevations, supported by corbels that rise above the eaves line, and is likely of 20th-century origin. A carved sandstone panel is recessed into the turret; it displays a shield with the inscription 'The Camp House', surmounted by a carved coronet.

The exterior is finished with pink painted render, with painted stone dressings. The original house has timber sash and case windows, while the rear extension has modern windows. The dormers have piended roofs. The main roof is pitched and covered with grey slates, with a coped ashlar gable apex stack on the southeast elevation, featuring two circular clay cans. The turret has a slated cap roof and lead flashing at its apex.

A rubble boundary wall, topped with rubble copes, runs alongside the driveway to the hotel, starting from 182 Main Street and extending to the southwest before terminating at a meadow. A similar boundary wall exists opposite, belonging to 184 Main Street. A rustic rubble arch, probably dating from the early 20th century, spans the driveway within the wall; it consists of roughly built rubble supports flanking the wall, supporting a slender, segmental rubble arch. A decorative wrought iron gate, also likely from the early 20th century, is positioned at the arch.
