Late 17th century. Re-erected on this site late 18th century. Square-section ashlar gatepiers with gladiator sculptures and castellated Tudor screen walls. Hoodmoulds and stone mullions.
W (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: tall piers with pilastered front, cornice and large carved orb finials, lower flanking bays with gladiators. Crenellated screen walls beyond to right with pedestrian gateway to left and 2 bipartite windows (blinded as diamond-pattern glazing) to centre, outer crenellation broader, wall sloping to lower square-section pier at outer right and boundary walls adjoining beyond. Screen wall to left mirrors that to right.
E ELEVATION: lower piers to centre with crouching lions; pedestrian gateway to left, slated piend-roofed rubble lodge beyond with 2 windows and boarded timber door on return to right. Pedestrian gateway to right of centre with evidence similar building beyond.

Property of Strathmore Estates (Holding) Ltd. Two other gates, the De'il (Main) and Outer (Kirk) Gates, were also relocated in 1774 when the court walls close to the castle were demolished. Stirton attributes the gladiators and lions, and satyres and lions at the Main Gate, to Santvoort who was paid the sum of ?394 in 1684, too great a figure for the amount of work carried out at the Castle.
