The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments states that these gates date from the late seventeenth century and were possibly designed by Sir William Bruce for the 2nd earl of Panmure. With the failure of the 1715 Jacobite Uprising, the 4th earl of Panmure supposedly ordered that these gates remain shut until a Stewart monarch returned to the throne.
