4 Randolph Cliff, Edinburgh

A three-storey classical terrace with basement and attic, built in 1822 by James Gillespie Graham. The principal (southwest) elevation has fifteen bays with channelled sandstone ashlar at the ground floor and a continous cornice at the second floor. Numbers 2-8 have entrance platts with stone steps oversailing flagstone basement areas. Doors are panelled timber, some with glazed upper panels, and rectangular fanlights. The windows have moulded architraves, those at the first floor having individual cornices. There are three piended dormers at numbers 2-4. The attic to numbers 5-6 is a later addition. The slightly advanced 5-bay end pavilion (numbers 7-9A) has a three-bay projection to its northwest elevation with a balustraded balcony and a pedimented window at the first floor. There is a balustraded parapet at the second floor. Above is a tall and broad ashlar chimney stack with a round-arched opening at its centre. The interiors were not seen in 1998.

The building has predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof covering is grey slate. Rainwater goods are cast-iron. Chimney stacks have circular clay cans. The cast-iron railings have spear-headed balusters with pineapple finials. No 9 has round gatepiers.
