INTERIOR: recently redecorated, most interior work is new but respects the original.
When listed in 1991, the lodge was roofless. Recently converted to use as a visitor?s centre for the Cammo Estate, it has been re-roofed and internally refurbished. A receipt for ?62, dated 1789, indicates the cost of this building (then referred to as a porter?s lodge at the gates of Cammo House). The initials "C W" inscribed above the door are thought to stand for Charles Watson, a former proprietor of Cammo. The same initials and the date 1795 can be seen on the sundial within the house grounds. The lodge was previously listed with the adjacent gatepiers (now listed separately).
