Old Bankhouse, 8 High Street, East Linton

Old Bankhouse, located at 8 High Street in East Linton, is a former bank building dating from the early to mid-19th century, possibly incorporating earlier materials. This two-storey, three-bay structure is set back from the High Street and features mid to late 19th-century additions at the rear. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone with whinstone rubble on the sides and rear, and it has droved sandstone dressings and an eaves course.

The west elevation faces High Street and includes a central doorway with ashlar margins and a hook-bracketed doorpiece, topped by an 8-pane strip fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays and three additional windows on the first floor. The rear has two-storey additions, with iron bars on the ground floor windows of the side elevations. The south elevation features an elongated window on the first floor that is partially glazed, along with bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors at the rear. The north elevation is blank.

Most of the windows are sash and case style, featuring a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, with a piended roof at the front and a platform roof on the rear additions. A sandstone wallhead cornice stack is present.
