It was built by Thomas Robertson at around 1859 but was completely refurbished in 1843 by the Provost and Mr. John Grant of Kilgraston. Its design is based on that of the Netherbow in Edinburgh. The West Port sits at the lower end of one of the towns’ three premier streets. The view from the west shows an impressive monumental quality while the view from the east forms a natural boundary to the town's historic core. It is still in use for passage, and thus preserves some of the aesthetic effect of an archway. The West Port remains a notable structure, contributing positively to the historic fabric of Scotland's oldest university town.
