26 Forth Street, Edinburgh

26 Forth Street in Edinburgh is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Burn in 1800. It stands three storeys high with a mansard attic and a basement, featuring a three-bay façade constructed from sandstone ashlar. The ground floor has projecting cills and a decorative band course, while there is a band course between the floors and a cill band at the first floor that includes blind balustered ashlar aprons. The building is adorned with moulded architraves, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The entrance features an ionic columned doorpiece with a cornice, fluted frieze, and rosette motifs, with entrance platts that oversail the basement.

On the principal elevation, there is a broad tripartite timber panelled door with a decorative round-arched fanlight to the left. The remaining bays at the ground floor have windows set in round-arched recesses, while the upper floors display regular fenestration, including three dormer windows in the mansard roof. The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing, and the roof is covered with grey slates. Decorative cast-iron railings complete the exterior. The interior was not seen in 1998.
