North Gothic Cottage, 23 Russell Place, Edinburgh

North Gothic Cottage, located at 23 Russell Place in Edinburgh, dates from around 1825 and is a single-storey, three-bay Gothic cottage that underwent alterations in the late 19th century. The front is finished in polished ashlar, while the sides and rear are constructed from coursed rubble. The cottage features barge-boarded overhanging eaves.

On the south elevation, the entrance is situated in a slightly advanced gabled central bay, which is adorned with scalloped bargeboarding. The entrance includes a timber panelled door topped by a decorative fanlight, all within a hoodmoulded chamfered surround. To the side, there is a slightly projecting piend-roofed two-light window set in a recessed panel, also featuring decorative bargeboarding along the eaves. A piend-roofed pend with decorative bargeboarding is located in the right bay, which was created when the cottage became part of the stables for No 110 Trinity Road.

The windows are fitted with plate glass in timber sash and case frames, and the roof is covered with grey slates. Decorative ashlar stacks with circular cans are set diagonally and are corniced.
