ENTRANCE ARCH, QUADRANT AND RETAINING WALLS: probably
1841. Red sandstone rubble with stugged ashlar
dressings. Segmental archway at centre in mannered
Dutch-style, ashlar coped gable with shield panel to
road. Slightly recessed, ashlar-coped quadrants
flanking, leading to pedestrian gateways in main, coped
retaining walls; mannered Dutch-style gables above

Archibald Broun commissioned the lodge, and probably the
entrance arch in 1841, possibly from William Burn. Broun
was probably the patron of the coach house, listed
separately. Allegedly, he moved to Chesterhill House,
opposite, to spend the end of his days having exhausted
his funds at Johnstounburn; hence the lintel inscription
advising visitors to build nothing. For further
information see Johnstounburn House.
