Description

2-8 High Street in Edinburgh is a five-storey tenement building dating from around 1800, located on a corner site with a return to St Mary's Street. The principal (north) elevation features sandstone ashlar and a dentiled eaves course. The second, third, and fourth floors have bracketed raised cills. The ground floor includes painted, round-arched openings for a public house, which are corbelled out at the curving northeast corner. The east elevation is constructed of squared and snecked rubble.

The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with a 15-pane pattern at the fifth bay. It is topped with a Scottish slate roof, broad harled stacks with clay cans, and features cast-iron rainwater goods.
