Description

The Bank of Scotland, located at 2 High Street in Port William, is a two-storey bank and bank house built in the later 19th century. It features squared and coursed whin masonry with cream sandstone ashlar dressings, including rybated margins, quoins with margin draft, a band course between the floors, an eaves course at lintel level, an eaves cornice, and a base course. All windows have recessed aprons.

On the north elevation, which serves as the bank house entrance, there are three bays. The central bay has a corniced and pilastered doorpiece with a modern panelled door and a deep plate glass fanlight. The fenestration is regularly arranged, with a narrow window at the centre of the first floor and wider windows on the ground floor.

The east elevation, which is the bank entrance, consists of five bays, with two bays on the left recessed. It features a corniced and pilastered doorpiece in the outer right bay. The fenestration is also regularly disposed, showcasing a variety of glazing in timber sash and case windows, with 4-pane glazing on the ground floor and 6-pane glazing on the first floor. The building has pebble-dashed wallhead stacks on the east and west sides, and a piended platform roof with octagonal cans.

The boundary walls, railings, and gatepiers consist of low whin rubble walls topped with red sandstone saddleback coping, which are surmounted by cast-iron fleur-de-lis railings. The red sandstone ashlar gatepiers are conical-capped and octagonal, with one topped by an ashlar ball.
