Description
Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority
1790, architect unknown. Axially situated at the NE end of the Main Street of Gartmore, Gartmore Village Gate provides access to the Gartmore estate. It is composed of a central semi-circular arch flanked by trefoil piers with a crenellated parapet. Flanked by slim towers with quatrefoil pier angles, trefoil headed side gates with quatrefoils above. The curved side screen walls terminate in quatrefoil piers. Constructed of painted roughcast with ashlar dressings. The flanking towers still retain their gothic wrought iron gates, but the central arch has lost its gates (shown in an early old postcard).
A good surviving example of a relatively unaltered estate gate. It dates from the later 18th century, the period when the Graham family of Gartmore carried out a series of improvements to their house and grounds, and laid out the planned estate village of Gartmore.
