Statement of Interest

This is a distinctive, good example of a largely unaltered estate Gate Lodge and exhibits a number of decorative design elements. It is located on the main approach to the now demolished House of Glenmuick (1870 to 1947) and may have been designed by the same architect, Sir Samuel Morton Peto.
