Rock Cottage, Prestonpans

Possibly 17th century in origin, altered, with mid 19th century detailing. Single storey, irregular 3-bay cottage above cellar, jutting out on shore into Firth of Forth as if growing out of coastal rock. Very random sandstone, some blocks massive and eroded, partly rendered. Walls raked against sea.

E elevation with S section recessed and rendered with steeper roof pitch and incorporating modern glazed timber porch and door. 2 windows flanking, that to N with droved and painted margins. W elevation with boarded cellar door below ancient timber lintel; main floor with

3 windows, asymmetrical and altered with margins raised (in cement) and painted. 2 foreshortened windows to upper N gable, which is roughly cement rendered.

Windows all modern uPVC with dummy astragals. Roof in ungraded Welsh slates, gabled with skews plus central skew. Tall brick stack at S gable plus brick stack on ridge, plain cans.
