Former band block, Redford infantry barracks, Colinton Road, Edinburgh

The former band block at Redford infantry barracks on Colinton Road in Edinburgh is a two-storey, 23-bay building with a rectangular plan and a symmetrical design. It features central advanced gabled bays on the northwest and southeast elevations. Designed by Harry B Measures, it was constructed between 1909 and 1915. The building is made of dark, coursed rock-faced rubble with pale ashlar dressings, and includes cill courses, a band course, and an eaves course. The windows have projecting cills and there is regular fenestration, with round-arched entrance doorways on the northwest elevation flanking the central gable. At the first floor level of the gables, there is a tripartite Diocletian window.

Most of the windows are timber sash and case, featuring small pane glazing in the upper sashes and 2-pane glazing in the lower sashes. The roof is covered with grey graded slates and has raised skews.

The interior, observed in 2016, includes a double-height space at the center of the building, with corridors and rooms extending off to either side. Several stone dog-leg staircases with cast iron railings provide access to the upper floors.
