National Bible Society Of Scotland, 7 Hampton Terrace, West Coates, Edinburgh

The National Bible Society of Scotland, located at 7 Hampton Terrace in West Coates, Edinburgh, is a Gothic-style church built between 1867 and 1868 by Robert Raeburn. The building has a rectangular plan and features a buttressed belfry with a broach spire at the northeast corner. It is constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone ashlar, with polished sandstone ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a base course, a string course below the cill level to the ground, a cill course to the windows above the entrance portal, a band course to the gable, and moulded skews.

On the principal north elevation, there are two-leaf timber doors with a modern fanlight set within a moulded pointed-arch entrance portal. This portal is flanked by nook shafts with plain capitals and a lugged hoodmould. The flanking bays contain narrow pointed-arch windows with chamfered aprons and lugged hoodmoulds. Above the entrance, a large tripartite pointed-arch window with a chamfered apron is located on the first floor, along with a louvered pointed-arch oculus above the central tallest lancet. The gable is topped with a corniced block finial featuring a metal seven-point star, and there is a buttressed turret with a broach spire at the northwest corner, which includes single pointed-arch slit lights on both the ground and upper floors.

The corner belfry has steps leading to an architraved plain timber door. Above this door is a pointed-arch tripartite window with a lugged hoodmould. The belfry also features a string course, a moulded diamond-shaped plaque with a plain round inset, and a cill course. There are a pair of narrow pointed-arch windows with lugged hoodmoulds set in a recessed panel with a decorative band course, along with a cornice and a gabled pointed-arch louvered opening at the foot of the spire. A double string course is present at the mid-point, culminating in a metal finial.
