The Tower, 46 Figgate Lane, Portobello, Edinburgh

The Tower at 46 Figgate Lane in Portobello, Edinburgh, is a possibly William Jamieson design from 1785, which was restored in 1864 and incorporated into a house to the northwest by Hugh Paton. This three-stage octagonal castellated Gothic tower is constructed from sandstone rubble with red brick dressings and features architectural details from various buildings dating from the late medieval period to the late 17th century. It has a corbelled and crenellated parapet, with pointed-arched openings on each stage and face, most of which are blinded. The second floor showcases late Gothic triple shafts with elided bases and capitals at the arrises, possibly serving as jambs for chimneypieces.

On the southeast elevation, the stair tower displays late Gothic foliage capitals and spiralling nook shafts, along with a lintel inscribed with the motto "lectare" (rejoice) and a shield supported by putti. The northeast elevation features an aedicule that incorporates fragments of Romanesque voussoir with chevron patterns, a shield with a merchant's mark, medieval fireplace jambs with a fleuron between the shafts, and an early 17th-century pediment adorned with two putti.
