Scotscraig, East Linton

Circa 1875, Scotscraig is a former manse, a two-storey, L-shaped house with an attic. The main façade is constructed of squared and snecked, stugged pink sandstone with some ashlar dressings, a base course, roll-moulded string courses, and eaves courses, featuring stone mullions. Yellow stone is used on the sides, while the rear is built of squared whinstone rubble with yellow stugged sandstone dressings.

The south elevation has three bays. A broad, advanced gabled bay is located on the outer left, with a canted bipartite window at ground level featuring a cornice and string course, and an identically detailed window at the first floor, including a blocking course with leaf motifs within roundels. A bipartite window is present in the attic. A two-storey canted porch is situated in the re-entrant angle, also with a cornice and blocking course. The doorway has a roll-moulded arch and a strip fanlight. To the left of the porch at ground level is a bipartite window, and above it, at the first floor, are two single lights. A corbelled stair turret projects to the left at the first floor, within the re-entrant angle of the porch and wing, featuring a slit window, string course, bracketted cornice, blocking course and decorative square panels. Bipartite windows with stone transoms are positioned to the right of the porch, on both ground and first floors. A broad gabled bay extends to the outer right, with a canted bipartite bay window at ground level featuring a cornice and blocking course, mirroring the details on the left. A tripartite window is present on the first floor, hooded by a moulded string course. A decorative relief roundel is positioned by the moulded string course, and a larger decorative roundel is set into the gable head, enclosing five smaller quatrefoil roundels.

The north elevation (rear) is two storeys with a basement and attic, and has four bays. The middle bays each have a single light window on every floor, with a smaller window at the centre of the first floor. The outer left bay has bipartite windows on each floor, with a single light in the attic. The outer right bay projects at basement level and features a bipartite window. Splayed corners lead into a canted window at the ground floor with a cornice and blocking course, with a bipartite window above and a single light in the attic.

The west elevation, set on sloping ground, has three centrally grouped bays. The outer left bay has a bipartite window on three floors, with small single lights to the basement and first floor at the centre, and bipartite windows to the ground and first floors on the right. Gableheads break the eaves on the outer bays.

The east elevation features moulded skews with angled skewputts, a left bay mirroring the west elevation with kneelers and a finial. The roof is covered in grey slates, with fish scales on the conical roof of the turret, and has lead ridge brackets. Ashlar coped stacks are present, topped with cornices and decorative cans.
