What is recorded here

East Lodge stands at the Ballindalloch Castle entrance, built in 1860 as a gate lodge. Its stones still frame the approach to the castle, marking the boundary between the outside world and the estate within. The structure survives as a deliberate threshold, shaping how visitors first meet the castle and reminding them that even grand places begin with a doorway.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ballindalloch Castle, East Lodge as Gate Lodge (19th Century) (1860). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built in the 19th century, around 1860, as a gate lodge to Ballindalloch Castle, it is remembered as part of the estate's historic architecture and as an example of 19th-century Scottish lodge design.
