St Margaret Mary's Presbytery, 87 Boswell Parkway, Edinburgh

St Margaret Mary's Presbytery, located at 87 Boswell Parkway in Edinburgh, was designed by Reginald Fairlie in 1939, with a slightly later addition. This single-storey, nine-bay building features a U-shaped plan and is designed in the Cape Dutch style. It has a brick base course and is rendered and painted white above the sill level, with brick sills on all windows.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a symmetrical arrangement. It includes a circular step leading up to a central entrance that features a gabled porch. The entrance door is semicircular-headed and recessed, framed by a brick architrave and set back in three stages. Flanking the entrance are three regularly spaced bays that end in projecting pavilion bays, each containing a three-light window.

The east and west elevations have pavilion bays at either end of the entrance elevation that extend north to form wings. The eastern wing has a central gabled entrance porch with a doorway flanked by narrow windows, and a single bay on either side. The northern part of this wing includes a small flat-roofed extension. The western wing is longer and ends in a projecting pavilion bay, with most of this wing being a slightly later addition.

The courtyard elevations create a U-shaped plan that forms a courtyard area to the north. The rear of the main building features four wide semicircular-headed windows, with two similar windows on the west side, located north of a pilaster that marks the end of the original building.

The windows are primarily 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate, featuring coped ridge stacks painted black and white, with three stacks on the main body, two on the eastern wing, and one on the northern wing, all with round cans.
