Double gates at north and south ends of forecourt. Each gate is decorated with St Andrew and his cross in front of a [sun?]. Below is a thistle and below that a row of tassels attached to quilted 'material' decorated with a thistle. Around St Andrew are roses and thistles and foliate scrollwork. At each of the four corners of the upper panel is a lion's head. The overmantel is decorated with a shield bearing the lion rampant (bottom), the monogram of Geroge IV (centre) and a lion sejant affronte (on top of a crown) holding a sword and sceptre (top). Below the lion is a rose, to either side is a thistle.
