Statement of Interest

The gates are said to have come from Caroline Park, Edinburgh. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland Inventory notes that the original gates were removed to Sauchieburn, Stirlingshire. Castle Gogar and related buildings and Castle Gogar Bridge are listed separately (see LB27092 and LB27102).

The gatelodge was previously thought to date from the mid-19th century. Ordnance Surveys Maps, however, show that the mid-19th century gatelodge located to the east of the entrance road was rebuilt to the west of the entrance road sometime between 1914 and 1938.
