Description
Drummond Scrolls is a single-storey, three-bay building dating from around 1885. Originally the centerpiece of William Adam's Royal Infirmary, it has since been converted into a house. The building features a flat roof and is adorned with large carved bracket scrolls on the southwest elevation. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, with a channeled surface on the northeast side. It includes a base course, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The southwest elevation has panelled pilasters and a central timber panelled door framed by an architrave. The outer bays contain windows that also feature similar architrave frames. The large flanking bracket scrolls are heavily carved with foliate and floreate designs.
On the northwest elevation, there is a central semicircular niche with a prominent keystone, along with an advanced semicircular shelf supported by a shell-like corbel, inscribed with "GEORGIVS II REX." This niche is flanked by Roman Ionic columns and topped with a small pediment. The northeast elevation is regularly fenestrated and has a small semicircular pediment at the center. The southeast elevation is partially obscured by a modern lean-to roof, which has a small pediment supported by a single Ionic column and features a dentiled cornice. The building has modern glazing and a felted flat roof.
