Gate lodge and gates, still in use, built in the later 19th century, possibly by Sir Samuel Morton Peto, with 20th century additions. It was the lodge for the now demolished Glenmuick House (NO39SE0025), and is set within its designed landscape (NO39SE0031). It is a single-storey, three-bay picturesque Gothic Gate Lodge, constructed from bull-faced, squared and coursed granite. It has a splayed base course, narrow dressed margins and tooled granite canted bays. The piended roofs have steep pitched gables and overhanging eaves, and features ornate fish scale and diamond decorative slate work and distinctive glazing bar design. The gable apexes and dormers have decorative finials. The symmetrical north-west (principal) elevation to the estate driveway has a projecting entrance porch to the centre with a pointed arched doorway at the east re-entrant angle. There are two gabled attic dormers with pointed arched windows. The east and west elevations feature canted bay windows with corniced granite piended. The south-east (rear) elevation has a monopitched outshot with a doorway at the west re-entrant angle and granite skews. There is four and two-pane sash and case timber windows with pointed arched glazing bars to upper sashes, some fixed pane windows have pointed arched glazing bars. The doors in the lodge are of boarded timber, and there are cast-iron rhones and rhone pipes. There are two shouldered, corniced, granite wallhead stacks to rear, and some octagonal clay cans. Inside, the simple decorative element has been retained, including four-panel timber doors, a classical timber chimneypiece and decorative plaster cornice work in ground floor reception room. There is a timber staircase with timber hand rail, balusters and newel posts with ball finials. There is an attached gate pier at the northern end of the principal elevation, leading to two free-standing bull faced granite gate piers on tooled granite bases, corniced capitals with tooled granite balls. The wrought-iron gates are later 20th century (1960 to 1980).
