Royal Bank Of Scotland, Castlehill, Campbeltown

The Royal Bank of Scotland is a late 19th-century bank with a later 19th-century bank manager's house, situated on a rectangular plot. The principal front is built of polished ashlar, while the sides use roughcast and coursed rubble. The building is two storeys high and has four bays.

The north-west elevation, facing Main Street, is symmetrical, with a slight displacement of bays to the right. A pilastered entrance door is centrally located in the third bay, sheltered by an ashlar porch with marble steps, columns, and an entablature. Flanking windows have panelled aprons and corniced canopies supported by scrolled brackets. A slightly advanced bipartite window occupies the outer left corner on the ground floor, also with panelled apron and cornice. The first floor windows have lugged bases and corniced lintels, with a pedimented window above the porch.

The north-east elevation features a central entrance porch with a polished ashlar facing on the north-west side, stone steps, and an architraved door with a dentil pediment above a corniced parapet. A tall stair window is centred on the first floor, with a window to the left and a round-arched window in the gablehead.

The south-west elevation has ground floor windows at the centre and to the left, a single first-floor window to the outer left, and a single segmental-arched window in the gablehead.

The windows are timber, dating from the interwar period, and feature hoppers, border glazing, and floreate decoration on the cross bars. The main entrance has 6-panel, two-leaf timber doors with bronze handles and plate glass fanlights, as does the side porch. The grey slate roof is punctuated by three corniced ashlar apex stacks with circular cans.

Inside, the early 20th-century timber counter has a small carved panel and a glazed screen with some remaining etched glass. The ceiling features a stylised, dentilled cornice and a nine-pane ceiling light.

To the front, along Main Street, there is a coped and stepped ashlar dwarf wall with contemporary wrought-iron railings and two-leaf gates at the centre and outer left.
