Gateway, built c.1860, comprising four gate piers in form of cut limestone Roman Doric-style columns flanking vehicular and pedestrian entrances, with tooled limestone plinths and carved limestone caps. Cast-iron double-leaf and single gates.

Appraisal

This gateway makes a strong visual statement at the entrance to the grounds of the former Rahoon House estate. It exhibits high quality stone work and decorative iron work, enriching the aesthetic aspirations of the composition.
