Description

33, 35, and 37 Scotland Street in Edinburgh is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald between 1801 and 1804. This four-storey structure, which includes a basement and a wallhead attic on the fourth storey, features broached ashlar sandstone with V-jointed rustication at the principal floor. There are band courses between the basement and the principal floor, as well as between the principal floor and the first floor. The building has projecting cills at the first and second floor windows, a cornice at the second floor, and a cornice with a blocking course at the third floor. The entrance includes ashlar steps and platts that extend over the basement.

The principal elevation showcases three six-panel timber doors with rectangular fanlights in the central bays, flanked by pairs of windows. The upper floors and basement have regular fenestration, with blind windows in the center bay on the first, second, and third floors. The northeast and southeast elevations are part of adjoining terraces, which are listed separately.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case, and the roof is covered with grey slate in an M shape. The building features cast-iron rainwater goods and a broached ashlar ridge stack that is coped and has circular cans.

While the interiors were not seen in 1997, there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. The property is also adorned with ashlar copes topped by cast-iron railings that have spear-headed balusters and urn finials.
