The West Lodge and Gate of Hallyburton House is a fine survival which forms an integral part of the estate buildings. Prominently sited at the principal entrance to this large estate on the main Coupar Angus to Dundee road, it is flanked by extensive boundary walls. The high quality detailing reflects Heiton's work at the main house.

From the early years of the 19th century, gate lodges had been developing from the simple box type to become significant architectural additions advertising the quality and aspirations within the carefully marked estate boundary.

Hallyburton's original 1680 house was built for the Hallyburton's of nearby Pitcur. The large estate was purchased by Graham Menzies from the Marquis of Huntly in 1879 for the sum of £235,000. Graham Menzies, founder of the Distillers Company, passed the estate to his son W G Graham Menzies in 1890. Gordon W Menzies commissioned the 1903 Lorimer work, and Hallyburton remains in the same family today.
