The lodge serves Nazareth House to its NE. The main house was probably built on the site of, and indeed incorporates, Eldin House. The lodge and house appear on both the 1854 and 1894 OS maps. The modest baronial core was taken over and re-named by the Roman Catholic Order the Sisters of Nazareth and was greatly extended by Reid & Forbes in 1933. Despite extensive additions, the original fabric of the lodge is still very much in evidence.
