Statement of Interest

Built as the lodge to Hartrigge House, which was designed by David Bryce. The masonry of the extension is of poorer quality. There was a further lodge 250m to the SE, which like the house is now demolished; the stables and Wildcat Lodge still survive (see separate listings - Jedburgh Parish).
