These outside gates are made of iron and are somewhat decorative in design.  The tops are spiked and there's a family crest that hangs on both the left and right gate telling people who resides here.

I am a guard that lives inside the village. I protect valuable items in the kingdom. I protect the valuable items from the enemy.
Do you need any assistance ? I have been told to bring this bucket to the scullery maid at the Laird's house. Well why don't you continue with your task? Do you feel safe in this village? Thank you. Yes.  That is good to hear. We haven't had a single raid in the past year.  Well you are doing your job very well! Do you miss your family? Very much. It has been so long since I have seen them!
