108 West Bow, Edinburgh

108 West Bow in Edinburgh is a four-storey, three-bay Baronial terraced tenement block designed by Alexander W Macnaughton in 1879, featuring shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed of cream ashlar, which is painted at the ground level. The ground floor has a cornice, and the bays are separated by pilasters that include strapwork detail. Channelled pilaster strips flank the bays on the first and second floors.

The first floor has stone-mullioned windows, with a tripartite window in the center and bipartite windows in the outer bays. The second floor features a central bipartite window with panelled detail below, set in an arched hood. A corbelled string course rises over carved panels between the second and third floors. The central window on the third floor has strapwork detail and a carved panel above, set within a finialled crowstepped gable, while the outer windows have finialled pedimented dormerheads.

The eaves are corbelled, and the skewputts are pedimented. The windows are fitted with plate glass in timber sash and case frames, while the shop has modern glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a corniced stack with circular cans.
