Information

Mauldslie Castle West Lodge is a 19th-century gatehouse in Dalserf, Lanarkshire. A Category A listed building, it was completed in 1861, believed to be the work of David Bryce.[1]

The adjoining Mauldslie Bridge, a separate listing,[2] was built for James Hogier, of Newlands, to serve Mauldslie Castle, built by Thomas, 5th Earl of Hyndford, in 1793. The castle was demolished in 1935. A seated-dog motif above the gate, which appears with an inscription of "Aye Ready",[1] can also be found in the garden of the Marna gate lodge, to the south. That also is a listed structure.[2]

Hogier's initials appear on the eastern elevation of the gatehouse.[1]
