217 And 219 High Street, Edinburgh

215 High Street in Edinburgh is an 18th-century tenement building that includes earlier elements. It is five stories tall with an attic and features a five-bay façade. The ground floor has an early 19th-century shop front with pilasters, while the building is ashlar-faced with rubble at the rear. The attic has two slate-hung dormers with two windows each. The ground floor openings are flanked by Doric pilasters, and there is a pend leading to Lyons Close on the outer right side, along with a narrow opening with steep stairs leading to flats on the outer left. There are plaques commemorating Dr. Elsie Inglis, who lived from 1864 to 1917.

At the rear, there is a three-bay, six-story wing with tripartite windows on the second, third, fourth, and fifth stories facing north, as well as a further single-storey low rubble wing to the north that faces a courtyard. The building features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, although the ground floor has modern glazing. It also includes scrolled skewputts, grey slates, and end stacks with circular cans.
