Details A pair of gatepiers, probably dating from circa 1715. They were formerly situated further to the west, but were moved in the 1970s to accommodate a new Elgin Academy and are now incorporated into the west wall of the garden north of the old castle ruins and have therefore lost their quadrant walls. The gatepiers are square in plan with alternating pulvinated bands between bands with double diamond panels, and have moulded bases and cornices. Each gatepier is topped with a moulded egg-shaped finial.
