Statement of Interest

Kippen Lodge is situated at the gate to Kippen House (with which it is linked in a B Group) beside an imposing set of gatepiers and quadrant walls. Angus Turner purchased the Kippen Estate in 1872 and commissioned extensive building work from local architect Andrew Heiton to enlarge the 1840s Kippen House. Appearing on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map, the design of the Lodge reflects the quality and attention to detail of Andrew Heiton's 1870s additions to the House and it is attributed for these reasons.
