John Adam designed these linked lodges in 1760 for 5th Earl of Dumfries. It is built on axis with Dumfries House andwas intended to be the north entrance to the estate. The 5th Ear was notable to acquire the land to the north of the lodges so the proposed drive was never built. It became instead an elegant eye-catcher but the woodland to the south has now meant that it is almost completely obscured.
