Panmure House, 129 Canongate, Edinburgh

Panmure House is a 2-storey and basement L-plan crow-stepped townhouse built in 1690, with renovations completed in 1956 by J Wilson Paterson. The building features random-rubble construction with roughly squared ashlar dressings and chamfered long and short margins. At the southeast re-entrant angle, there is a raised platt with a fore-stair and a boundary wall that forms a courtyard. The main entrance is located at the northwest angle of this raised courtyard, consisting of a timber studded door with a 6-pane glazed light above it. There are additional doorways on the south gable and at the rear (north) that lead to a narrow exterior passage enclosed by the boundary wall. The west elevation has a regular arrangement of fenestration with five bays.

The interior was extensively reconstructed during the 1950s, as noted in a resurvey conducted in 2007/08. The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with 15-pane glazing and horns. The building also features coped end stacks, cast-iron rainwater goods, and a remnant of a gas lamp at the southeast angle, located directly above the adjoining boundary wall.
