Scope and Content Detail of the Entrance Front, Carlekemp House, Abbotsford Road, North Berwick, East Lothian Carlekemp House was designed in 1898 by John Kinross in the Elizabethan style of a Cotswold manor house. It stands 1 km to the west of the harbour town of North Berwick, and was photographed c.1906 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The gabled entrance bay has a round arched porch in a Jacobean style, crowned with obelisks and a strapworked cartouche. The little canted bay (left), which forms an alcove in the library, has stone dolphins curling down from its roof. The house, built for James Craig, a paper manufacturer, was the first of three Cotswold-style manor houses to be built in Abbotsford Road before World War I. The second, Bunkerhill, was built for James Craig's brother by the architect, Robert Lorimer. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
