What is recorded here
West Lodge stands as a 19th Century building beside Pitreavie Castle in Dunfermline. It may have served as a gatehouse, guest house or keeper's house for the estate. The main castle took most of the attention, but the lodge controlled entry and marked the boundary between the public road and private land.
