7 Glenisla Gardens, Edinburgh

11 Glenisla Gardens in Edinburgh is a group of three pairs of single-storey cottages, designed by J Bryan Nisbet in 1896. These cottages feature attics and basements and are situated on sloping ground at the rear, forming part of a terrace. The cottages are finished in different colours of harling: cream for Nos 6-7, lemon for No 8, white for No 9, and dark blue for Nos 10-11, all accented with grey sandstone dressings. Architectural details include a base course, a cill band course, an eaves cornice, and advanced entrance blocks with lintel band courses. The doorways are roll-moulded and surrounded by single windows, with aproned cornices above the doorways, cornices, and blocking courses. The cottages have panelled doors and feature flat-roofed and piend-roofed bipartite box dormers.

On the west entrance elevation, each pair of cottages consists of four bays that are mirrored around the centre. The advanced entrances are located in the second and third bays, with doorways flanked by single windows on either side. The outer left and right bays contain bipartite windows, with single lights in the centre. Each bay has a box dormer above it, with piend roofs on the outer bays and a replacement tripartite dormer at No 7. The windows are sash and case style, featuring two-pane lower sashes and six-pane upper sashes, while the box dormers in the two central bays of each pair have small panes. The roof is covered with grey-green slate, and there are coped red brick stacks, terracotta ridge tiles, and finials on the piend-roofed dormers. The gables are coped, and there is moulded eaves guttering along with scroll skewputts.
