Cockle Mill, 10 School Brae, Cramond

Cockle Mill, located at 10 School Brae in Cramond, is a former iron works building dating from the earlier to mid 18th century, around 1740. It has been restored and converted into residential units, with subdivision occurring around 1973. The building is a vernacular two-storey structure with ten bays and features a three-storey gable with an attic to the right of the center. The exterior is primarily constructed of random yellow rubble sandstone, with long and short rubble surrounds around the openings, some of which are stugged and some droved. It has projecting cills and squared and snecked rubble sandstone on the northern wing, while the rear is finished with whitewashed harl. There is a pitched, random rubble garage to the south, which also has whitewashed harl on its sides and rear.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, features a modern glazed tripartite entry in the central bay (No 10, Cockle Mill). To the right, there is a single window at the first floor, and to the left, there are single windows at both floors. In the outer left bay, there is an 11-pane modern glazing span at ground level, with three single windows above at the first floor. A boarded timber door is located in the penultimate bay to the right (No 8, Bonnington Cottage), with single windows on both floors in the outer right bay. Additionally, there is a 5-pane segmental-arched glazing beneath a red-brick voussoir arch at ground level in the bay to the left of the entry, with single windows in the bays to the left and right at both the first and second floors, and a small square window centered in the apex above.

The garage features a round-arched boarded timber door facing south in the outer left bay. The ground level has modern glazing, and there is a uPVC window at the first floor in the bay to the outer left. The remaining openings include 9-, 12-, and 15-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, pitched at the south, with raised skews, a rendered ridge stack to the south, rubble ridge stacks to the north, projecting coping, and single cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1996.
