B12 West Lodge and Gates
(photograph Ap.13.35)
A plain, single-storey building in granite ashlar with slate roof and wide eaves.
Anon. Lady refers to this lodge being built by Sir Robert Burnett in 1824. It appears on the 1838 Estate plan.
Some improvements were carried out to the lodge by the Crathes Trustees in 1963; major improvements in 1980. Occupied by an NTS Gardener. Good condition.
A simple gateway lines up with the west wall of the lodge comprising two central square granite columns, c.1.5m high, with moulded copes, and two slightly shorter matching outer columns for pedestrian gates. Gates in ‘Chinese’-style white-painted timber, with short lengths of timber railing on the curved low wall to the roadside.
