This was originally the drive to a large villa called Broomhill (later Broomhill Hospital). The hospital complex closed in 1995. Behind the scaffolding, barriers and screens on the right is the former lodge to the house. It dates from the earlier to mid 19th century. The lodge, boundary wall, gatepiers and gates are Category C listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB49875. On the Buildings at Risk Register https://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/906940, Listed Building Consent was sought in July 2019, and the building has subsequently been partly demolished as part of a development by Cala Homes. It remains to be seen how sympathetically it is rebuilt.
