Description

St Cuthbert's Association Cattle Depot, located at 6 New Market Road in Edinburgh, was designed by Thomas P Marwick in 1909. This co-operative cattle depot forms a courtyard and features three remaining domed corner pavilion blocks. The southeast and southwest ranges have been taken down to the ground floor, and the internal courtyard has been largely altered with modern brick additions. The building is constructed of coursed pink bull-faced sandstone with contrasting cream sandstone dressings and has broken segmental-arched pediments above the attic dormers.

The northeast (principal) elevation consists of a single storey and attic, featuring a seven-bay range flanked by two-storey saucer-domed pavilions. The full-height cream sandstone panels are adorned with round-arched tripartite windows, which are clasped by battered pink rubble angle piers on the outer faces of the pavilions. Many of the openings are now blocked or partially blocked. There is a tiled pend leading through to the courtyard in the second bay, a doorway in the third bay, and blocked single windows in the remaining bays, with dormers above each bay.

The northwest elevation mirrors the general arrangement of the northeast elevation but consists of nine bays. The southeast elevation presents a single storey, nine-bay facade with blocked windows in each bay. Similarly, the southwest elevation features a single storey, seven-bay facade with blocked windows in each bay. The building has small pane glazing, a grey slate roof, concrete pavilion domes with asphalt covering, and retains its original rainwater goods.
