47 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh

47 Cockburn Street in Edinburgh is a three-storey and attic, seven-bay tenement block built in the Scots Baronial style by architects Peddie and Kinnear between 1859 and 1861. The ground floor features shops and is constructed of ashlar stone, while the upper floors are made of lightly stugged squared and snecked sandstone with polished dressings. The building has a continuous cornice at the ground floor and a machicolated corbel course at the eaves.

The ground floor has roll-moulded segmental-arched openings and a timber-panelled door leading to the flats, topped with a plate glass fanlight. Above, the windows are set in roll-moulded stop-chamfered surrounds. The attic features five finialled, gabled segmental-arched dormer windows.

On the rear elevation, there is a machicolated corbel table at the attic floor, a crowstepped gable to the right, and finialled dormer-headed windows breaking the eaves to the left. The shops have plate glass, while the upper floors have four-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are corniced stacks with circular cans.
