6 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh

6 Cockburn Street is a later 19th century building, attributed to architects Peddie and Kinnear, constructed between 1859 and 1861. This asymmetrical, concave, three-storey and attic Scots Baronial structure is situated on a truncated wedge-shaped site between Advocate's and Warriston's Closes. It features squared and snecked lightly stugged ashlar with polished dressings, while the rear wings are made of rubble.

The building has a moulded string course at the first floor, with two bays on the right that are jettied on a machicolated corbel table at the second floor. There is also a moulded corbel table at the attic floor. The windows have chamfered surrounds, and the right side boasts a crowstepped gable topped with a thistle finial, which includes a carved panel above a stone-mullioned and -transomed window.

To the left, there are gabled dormerheads with monograms (WC and RC) on two attic windows that break the eaves. The string course and attic corbel table continue to a crowstep-gabled two-window bay facing Warriston's Close. The windows are fitted with 4-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, and the roof is covered with grey slates.
