Description
The Lodge at Linlithgow Palace is a single-storey and attic, three-bay symmetrical Tudor-style building, possibly designed by Robert Matheson in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from squared, stugged, and snecked cream sandstone rubble, featuring a base course and a stone corbelled gutter on the north and south sides. The windows have chamfered reveals.
On the north (entrance) elevation, there is a central window with a finialled dormer-headed window above it, flanked by a door on the outer left and a window on the outer right. The east (side) elevation includes a door on the outer right and a window to the left, along with a stone mullioned bipartite gablehead window. The south (rear) elevation features a wallhead stack.
There is a modern single-storey, two-bay office outbuilding to the east, linked by a wall. The lodge has sash and case windows, mostly with 8-pane lower sashes and 4-pane upper lying pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes ridge tiles, saw tooth ashlar coping, gablet coped beak skewputts, corniced and coped apex stacks, and moulded cans.
