Public House And Restaurant, 3 The Shore, Leith, Edinburgh

This building is a public house and restaurant located at 3 The Shore in Leith, Edinburgh. It was designed by John Russell Jun in 1802, with alterations made in 1884. The structure is a four-storey and attic, five-bay tenement that was originally a counting house or office, now functioning as a public house on the ground floor. The exterior features cream sandstone with droved ashlar and a polished ashlar ground floor, which has been painted, along with dressings and coursed rubble at the rear.

The front elevation includes a corniced and pilastered doorway leading to a common stair on the outer left, accompanied by a narrow six-pane fanlight and an ashlar panel above. There are single windows above this entrance. To the right, there is a six-bay pilastrade arranged in a three-three pattern, with a former door in the right bay now blocked and converted into a window, and regular single windows on the floors above. The roof features two rectangular slate-hung bipartite dormers.

On the rear elevation, there are single windows and a small rectangular dormer on the outer left. The building is fitted with twelve-pane timber sash and case windows and has a slate roof with apex and cross wall stacks.

Inside, the former counting house or office on the right, dating from 1884, has been transformed into a restaurant and public house. It features a boarded dado and a boarded ceiling with a lattice pattern.
