6-8 Glengyle Terrace, Edinburgh

6-8 Glengyle Terrace in Edinburgh is a four-storey and basement block of tenement flats designed by David McGibbon between 1867 and 1870. The building features a six-bay façade made of polished ashlar, with band courses at the height of the doors and window sills, an eaves cornice, and a carved rosette motif beneath the eaves. The windows are bracketed and set in moulded surrounds, with a slight batter on the third floor, and stone mullions for the bipartite windows. The ground floor displays an alternating pattern of doors and windows, with stone steps leading to the basement areas, which are covered by platts. The doors are timber panelled with plate glass fanlights in moulded surrounds. The outer bays contain bipartite windows, while the four inner bays have single windows.

The property is complemented by spear-headed cast-iron railings on a low stone-coped wall surrounding the basement area and steps. The windows predominantly feature plate glass within timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are rendered stacks at the wallhead and ridge, which are splayed.
