West Lodge, Learney Estate

Sadly this little cottage was in a derelict state when photographed certainly not the warm and cosy place remembered from my childhood. West Lodge was one of the estate cottages and used to be the home of the gamekeeper. The view is looking up the avenue and towards Learney House. The kennels and "larder" were up the brae to the left and the outside chemical toilet can just be seen at the rear on the left. Vans were not allowed up he avenue so we had to go down to the track up from East Learney to get the "messages". The Laird has had a new house built for his family next to West Lodge in what was the vegetable garden.
