Edinburgh, Glasgow Road, Castle Gogar, Lodge and Gates — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gogar Lodge stands on Glasgow Road as a 20th-century gate lodge beside 17th-century gates and 19th-century piers, marking the approach to Castle Gogar. The junction of ages suggests a household that kept its identity through changing fashions, perhaps still serving the same river-valley estate.

The castle and lodge at Castle Gogar, near Edinburgh, were originally built by the Crichton family in the 16th century and later held by the Baillie family; the site is historically significant as a fortified estate associated with key Scottish noble families and as a well-preserved example of early modern defensive architecture.
