Full Description
Former lodge built in 1836 in the style of William Robertson of Elgin. It is a single storey 3-bay former gate lodge to Duff House (NJ66SE0007). Constructed of tooled and polished ashlar sandstone, with pedimented tetrastyle fluted Greek doric portico, central double-leaf panelled door with original decorative fanlight and flanking windows with later glazing. Set back return gables each with angle pilasters and centre window. Moulded eaves cornice above deep frieze and eaves course. Rear wallhead stack, with shallow piended slate roof. There is also a pair of freestanding, squat, cast-iron lamp standards on battered panelled ashlar plinths. Though documentary proof has not yet been established, Collie Lodge with flanking lamp standards, was almost certainly designed by William Robertson of Elgin, at the same time that he was designing Wilson's Academy (Banff Primary School), also fronted by similar stands. The lodge is similar to the Boat of Brig tollhouse (W. Robertson, 1830) while the lamp standards are similar to those illustrated in Robertson's drawings for the former Elgin Courthouse, 1837. The lodge once fronted Collie Street, but is now absorbed into St Mary's car park.
