6-7 Red Row, High Street, Aberlady

Dating to around 1840, 6-7 Red Row is part of a terrace of ten single-storey, two-bay estate cottages built in the Gothic style, with a central passageway. The cottages were recently restored and are part of the Wemyss Estate housing. The end cottages project further at the rear, exhibiting a higher ridge line and a dividing skew. The cottages are constructed of roughly squared and snecked red sandstone with droved ashlar dressings, cavetto moulded reveals, and an eaves course. Each cottage has two bays, with five Tudor-arched doorways on either side of the arched central passageway (these doorways have been renewed). Pointed windows are located between the doorways. The windows are sash and case designs with a traceried pattern to the upper sashes. The rear elevation is harled. The roof is covered with red pantiles, with ashlar coped skews and ten coped stacks. The statutory address is 1-10 inclusive, Red Row, Main Street, Aberlady. An Ordnance Survey map of Haddingtonshire from 1854 provides a historical reference. The cottages should be viewed in the context of nearby buildings: 11 and 12 Main Street and The Wagon Inn, which are listed separately.
