Lothian Regional Transport Office, 3 Murrayburn Road, Edinburgh

The Lothian Regional Transport Office, located at 3 Murrayburn Road in Edinburgh, is a bus depot office and canteen building designed by T Bowhill Gibson and Laing in 1949 and completed in 1955. The building has undergone alterations in the later 20th century and again in 2015. It features a flat roof and a square plan in the Art Deco style, with a four-storey tower at the former entrance on Murrayburn Road. The first floor is smaller than the ground floor and is designed in an L-shape only on the street elevations. The two-storey street elevations vary in height, and there is a later infill addition at the rear of the upper floor for a plant room.

The building is finished with smooth white render, complemented by painted concrete cills and margins. The former main entrance door in the north elevation was blocked with glass bricks around 1980. In 2015, two windows on the east elevation were converted into fire escape doors. The building has flat roofs with parapets at the wall heads, and the metal framed windows were replaced in 2015 with Crittal double glazing that features a lying pane glazing pattern similar to the original. Additionally, the clock and logo on the tower are early 21st century additions. The listing excludes the interior of the building and the pitched roofed garages and workshops located to the south and west.
