Description
The Clydesdale Bank, located at 49-51 Low Street in Banff, is a two-storey building with an attic, designed in a symmetrical classical style by William Robertson of Elgin around 1837. The structure is constructed from tooled sandstone ashlar, featuring polished ashlar dressings. The doorways are set back under decoratively glazed fanlights and are framed by simple, shallow pedimented doorpieces with lugged and moulded surrounds. Similar pediments are found above paired central windows, which have raised margins. On the first floor, there are four windows that sit beneath bracketed cornices, below a narrow pulvinated string course, frieze, and wallhead cornice. The building has a plain blocking course that is raised at the center, flanked by scroll consoles. Additionally, there are two modern box dormers on the slate roof.
