Glenogle Baths, Glenogle Road, Edinburgh

Glenogle Baths, located on Glenogle Road in Edinburgh, was designed by Robert Morham and completed in 1898. This rectangular building features a castellated design with Baronial details and includes swimming baths with three battered corner towers connected to a smaller ancillary wing, all built into a sharply sloping site. The exterior is predominantly made of red bull-faced sandstone on Glenogle Road, with droved cream ashlar sandstone on the Saxe-Coburg Place elevation. The building showcases three corner towers, a base course, dividing band courses, and coped parapets.

On the north elevation facing Glenogle Road, the ancillary wing is attached to the main building on the outer left. The main building is three stories tall with nine bays, flanked by four-stage towers. The towers feature battered walls, round-arched roll-moulded doorways flanked by slit windows, and hoodmoulds above the doorways and windows. Decorative two-leaf iron gates lead to a single round-arched hoodmoulded window at the first stage, with three round-arched windows at the second stage and two decorative gun-loop openings at the third stage. A machiolated cornice with a stone parapet sits above the towers, topped by a pyramidal roof.

The south elevation, facing Saxe-Coburg Place, is constructed of grey bull-faced sandstone and has blocked openings at ground level, with eight round-arched openings at the first floor and a parapet above. A three-stage bull-faced red sandstone tower is located on the outer left, while a cream sandstone ashlar arcaded curtain wall is adjacent to the right, leading down to a pedimented round-arched gateway.

The west elevation is near-symmetrical, featuring towers flanking an advanced canted bay with round-arched windows, detailed similarly to the towers on the north elevation.

The east elevation contains the ancillary pump and boiler wing, with a brick stack nearby. This elevation has irregularly disposed openings. The stack, located to the east of the Glenogle Road entrance, is a circular-section red brick stack with an octagonal base and a ribbed crown. The building predominantly features eight-pane hopper windows with four-pane fixed windows below, and has a shallow-pitched grey-green slate roof with glazed ridge panels over the pool.

Inside, as seen in 1993, the pool area is adorned with blue and white ceramic tiles or bricks, complemented by a brass handrail and ceramic spittoons. The interior includes cast-iron columns with decorative capitals, a gallery and clearstory, iron balusters with a timber handrail on the stairs, and two "Norton's Patent" turnstiles. The hall and stairs feature a yellow and green/brown ceramic tiled dado, while the gym has an open timber roof.
