Lothian Regional Transport Office, 3 Murrayburn Road, Edinburgh

This bus depot office and canteen building was designed by T Bowhill Gibson and Laing in 1949 and built in 1955. It has been altered in the later 20th century and in 2015. It is a single and two-storey, flat roofed, square-plan building 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 was built as an L-plan to the street elevations only. The two-storey street elevations differ in height. There is a later infill addition at the rear of the upper floor for a plant room.

In accordance with Section 1 (4A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 the following are excluded from the listing: the interior of the building as well as the pitched roofed garages and workshops to the south and west.

The building has smooth white render with 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 to the east elevation were changed to fire escape doors.

The building has flat roofs with parapets at the wall heads. The metal framed windows were replaced in 2015 in Crittal double glazing with a lying pane glazing pattern similar to the original. The clock and logo on the tower are early 21st century additions.
