Statement of Interest

Balruddery House was designed by David Neave for James Webster in Circa 1820 and this gateway and the eastern stable court/steading (listed separately) probably date from that time. The house was altered and extended by Charles Edward and Thomas Saunders Robertson in circa 1880, when the lodge and western stables/steading (listed separately) were also probably erected. The house was rebuilt after a fire in 1889 by Sidney Mitchell and demolished in the early 1960s. The gates were restored with the help of a grant from Dundee District Council. There is an unlisted ruin of a Picturesque Gothic gardener?s house on the west side of Balruddery Den (David Neave?s drawing, NMRS A39009). Formerly South Gates (Item 11).
