Framed by a two-storey lodge-house on either side, the main gates are a fine example of decorative wrought iron work standing between a pair of tall square pillars topped by urns. Above the gates are the arms of the Dukes of Roxburghe, manufactured in wrought iron, which was subsequently painted and gilded. Iron railings join the pillars to the lodges, and each is provided with a single pedestrian gate, decorated in similar fashion to the main gates.
The gates were given by the 8th Duchess of Roxburghe to her husband to commemorate their silver wedding anniversary in 1928, and were designed by the architect Reginald Fairlie.
