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

A 2-storey, 23-bay, rectangular-plan, symmetrical former band block with central advanced gabled bays to the northwest and southeast elevations, designed by Harry B Measures and built between 1909 and 1915. The building is of dark, coursed rock-faced rubble with pale ashlar dressings. There are cill courses, a band course and eaves course. The windows have projecting cills. There is regular fenestration, and the northwest elevation has round-arched entrance doorways flanking the central gable. There is a tripartite Diocletian window at the 1st floor level of the gables.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case windows with small pane glazing in the upper sashes and 2-pane glazing in the lower sashes. There are grey graded slates and raised skews to the roof.

The interior was seen in 2016. There is a double-height space to the centre of the building with corridors and rooms leading off to either side. There are several stone, dog-leg staircases with cast iron railings to the upper floors.
