9 Rothesay Terrace, Edinburgh

15 Rothesay Terrace in Edinburgh is a building designed by R H Watherston and A Craig between 1898 and 1904, with later additions to the rear. This crescent-shaped terrace features a unified façade of three stories and a basement, consisting of two and three-bay townhouses in a plain classical style, with main-door and common stair flats located behind. Notably, there is a later added corniced ashlar storey to No. 9.

The basement area includes some vaulted cellars and retaining walls, and the building is constructed from sandstone ashlar. The entrance platts extend over the basements, and there is a banded base course along the bottom. The corniced eaves course adds to the architectural detail. The entrance doorpieces are corniced and feature moulded architraves along with rectangular fanlights. Additional bays at the ground and first floors have corniced bipartite windows with moulded cills and architraves, while the ground and first floors also showcase corniced and moulded two-storey, three-light canted bays. The first-floor windows are architraved and corniced, and the second-floor windows have no margins, with some being bipartite.

The windows are fitted with plate glass in timber sash and case frames. The roof has a double pitch M-section design, with corniced ashlar ridge and gable end stacks topped with modern clay cans. The property features cast-iron railings on ashlar coping stone edging the basement recess to the street, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.
