18-21 Dowie's Mill Lane Cottages, Cramond, Edinburgh

14-17 Dowie's Mill Lane Cottages in Cramond, Edinburgh, are early 19th-century irregular terraced cottages that stand two stories tall and feature three and five bays. They are constructed from random rubble yellow sandstone, with raised and painted cement surrounds on the south side and droved long and short surrounds on the north. The cottages have painted cills, long and short rubble quoins, and a chamfered end on the north side. An additional block of windows was created on the south side around 1990, and there is a flat-roofed harled addition at the rear.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance for numbers 1-4, has a two-leaf boarded timber door positioned to the left of center, with a narrow single window above it. There is a bipartite window at ground level in the outer right bay and bipartite windows on the first floor in two bays to the right of center. To the left of the entrance, there are single windows at ground level in three bays, and a single window on the first floor in the penultimate bay to the right.

On the south elevation, there are bipartite windows on both floors in the outer right bay. The west elevation for numbers 5-8 features a central two-leaf part-glazed timber door, flanked by single windows, with a bipartite window on the first floor aligned above the entrance. There are also single windows on the first floor in the outer left and right bays.

The north elevation has a partly rendered angled blank wall that indicates a previous continuation of the terrace, along with remnants of a wall to the north. The cottages have various replacement windows, including small-pane timber casements, sash and case, and uPVC. The roof is made of machine-made red pantiles, with raised stone skews and end and mutual red brick coped apex stacks, along with circular cans.

Inside, the cottages have been considerably altered to create six separate properties, with a stone stair located in the center of the north block.
