123 High Street, Edinburgh

This building at 123 High Street, Edinburgh, dates from the early 18th century and has undergone later alterations, incorporating some earlier materials. Originally part of a tenement, it was reduced in height around 1970 and now stands at two storeys. The ground floor features painted channelled ashlar and a modern three-bay shopfront, with a door leading to the basement on the outer right. Above, the first floor has four bays, rendered with raised chamfered ashlar margins and regular fenestration, along with modern timber doors. There is a rubble-built pend leading into North Gray's Close.

On the northern rear elevation, the building is three storeys high with two bays, constructed of random rubble. It features a roll-moulded doorway, which may date back to the 16th century, and a second doorway to the right. The window margins are chamfered ashlar, and the lowest large window has a lowered cill. The windows include plate glass timber sash and case types, with modern plate glass shop windows and some replacement glazing at the rear. The modern roof is concealed behind a continuous timber fascia.

The interior was not seen in 2002.
