26 Calton Hill, Edinburgh

26 Calton Hill is a tenement building from the later 18th century, featuring three storeys and an attic. It has two bays on the front and three bays at the rear, situated on an elevated site above street level. The building is constructed of random rubble with dressed margins and has a regular arrangement of windows.

On the south elevation, there is a timber-panelled door with a lozenge pattern fanlight above it, located in the left bay. The roof features a canted tripartite timber dormer. The north elevation has a dormer on the right side and another canted tripartite timber dormer on the left.

The windows predominantly have 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, while the side sections of the tripartite dormers feature 4-pane glazing. The dormers are finished with timber fascias, grey slate haffits, and piend roofs. The south elevation also includes two rooflights. The pitched roof is covered with graded grey slates and features stone skews and skewputts, along with a rendered gable-end stack with circular cans on the east gable.

The boundary walls include a paved ramp leading to stone steps, which have modern handrails. High rubble retaining walls with stone copes flank the steps, leading to a paved pathway to the door, with decorative cast iron railings on both sides. At the rear, there are rubble walls on the east and west sides, and a low rubble wall on the north side, topped with decorative cast iron railings and a gate.
