Camperdown House West Lodge, Camperdown Country Park, Dundee

Possibly a remodelling of an earlier 18th century cottage, the lodge is built on a rectangular-plan in rubble with a large off-centre window to each of long elevation. Doors sit in the gables, with a later timber porch to the south. The slate roof features overhanging eaves and decorative bargeboarding. A tall square-section stack sits at the wallhead to the rear. Vermiculated gatepiers sit to the front. The masonry appears to incorporate part of a Pictish stone. (Historic Environment Scotland List Entry)
