executed a series of works at Johnstounburn, including
the gate lodge (listed separately), which bears similar
details. Listed category C(S) despite conversion for
retention of general lines of coach house, and in
relation to Johnstounburn House Hotel, for which it
provides additional accommodation. Further information
