Clubhouse, Murrayfield Golf Club, 43 Murrayfield Road, Edinburgh

The clubhouse of the Murrayfield Golf Club, located at 43 Murrayfield Road in Edinburgh, was designed by Ernest Arthur Oliphant Auldjo Jamieson and built in 1912, with later additions in the 1980s. It is an Arts and Crafts style building, originally arranged in an ‘H’ shape with a main two-storey block, a two-storey wing to the southeast corner, and modern additions to the southwest corner and north elevation. The first floor of the entrance bay is clad in tiles. The exterior is primarily white-painted harl with a blue engineering brick base course and brick door quoins, featuring an eaves course.

The east-facing elevation has two piend-roofed bays flanking a recessed centre, with a wing on the left. A porch with a swept, piended roof is centrally placed, featuring a round-arched entrance with brick dressings. At the first floor, three pairs of bipartite windows are present. The advanced bays are regularly fenestrated with tripartite windows on both floors; the wing has regular fenestration as well.

The south elevation includes a blind wall to the right, with a stack breaking the eaves, and the 1980s addition to the left features a glazed shop entrance at ground level and a timber canted bay window at the first.

The west elevation has a regularly fenestrated central five-bay section, with an elliptical balcony between advanced, piend-roofed bays containing two-storey bow windows. A 1980s addition is found to the right. A central, round-arched doorway with brick dressings sits below the balcony, with the balcony supported on brick columns (originally cast iron). Three-light bow windows are present in the outer bays, and one window contains a 1994 stained glass pane by Patricia Savin depicting two lady golfers.

The north elevation includes a later, central extension. A two-storey projection is present to the left, featuring bipartite windows at ground and first floors, with a boat dormer above. Flanking this dormer is another boat dormer on the left. To the right of the extension, there are two slim lights at ground and first floor levels, a chimney in the centre, a three-centred arched entrance at ground level, and a single window above.

The interior, observed in 2013, is open plan with timber fixtures and fittings, and features a deep, coved plain cornice in the principal rooms.

The building predominantly features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, although some modern glazing is also present. Tall, tapered stacks have rendered bases and engineering brick tops, with some red clay cans. The roof is covered with graded grey slate. Cast-iron down-pipes are fitted, along with some decorative hoppers. A coped rubble boundary wall and gatepiers are also present.
