2-10 St Giles Street, Edinburgh

2-10 St Giles Street in Edinburgh is a four-storey and attic Scots Baronial corner tenement block designed by David Bryce and Robert Smith in 1872. The building features shops on the ground and first floors and has eight bays facing St Giles Street, along with a single two-window gabled bay on High Street. It is topped with a slated conical roof that includes a weathervane and a small timber dormer on the bowed corner bay. The exterior is constructed of coursed ashlar and has continuous cornices at the ground and first floors.

The ground and first floor openings are shouldered and framed by pilasters, with the ground floor featuring engaged Corinthian colonnettes and the first floor flanked by Corinthian pilasters. The building has crowstepped gables adorned with heraldic panels and apex stacks. There are three two-window gabled bays on St Giles Street, with intervening single bays that have finialled, pedimented dormerheads that break the eaves at the attic level. The central entrance is marked by a timber-panelled door with a plate glass fanlight.

The shops have plate glass, while the upper floors feature timber sash and case windows with four-pane glazing. The apex stacks are corniced and have circular cans, and the roof is covered with grey slates.
