The Burgh Arms Hotel, 16, 20, 22 High Street, Inverkeithing

The Burgh Arms Hotel, located at 16, 20, and 22 High Street in Inverkeithing, is an earlier 19th-century building with a later addition to the north, dated 1888. This two-storey and attic structure has a rectangular plan and has been converted into a pub and hotel. It features a two-storey, four-bay extension with a pend on the left side, along with extensive 19th and 20th-century additions to the rear. The front (west) elevation is made of lime-washed stone, while the rear (east) is constructed of dressed stone, rubble, brick, and render, with painted margins and quoins, stone cills, and a base course. The earlier 19th-century building has dormers.

On the west elevation, the 19th-century house has a central two-leaf timber panelled door flanked by windows, with three first-floor windows above. There are two polygonal piended dormers with slate cheeks. The 1888 extension to the left includes a pend in the penultimate bay with two-leaf timber boarded gates, a timber door with a plain fanlight to the far left, a two-leaf timber panelled door (the pub entrance) with a plain fanlight to the right, and a window to the far right. An inset pediment dated 1888 and 1664 features raised lettering below that reads "BURGH / ARMS," flanked by windows.

The south elevation adjoins 24 High Street. The east (rear) elevation has a complex arrangement of later additions, including an advanced two-storey, two-bay extension to the left that fronts a small courtyard area, a slightly advanced piended first-floor extension in the centre, and a pend entrance to the far right. There are brick coal bins in the courtyard.

The north elevation adjoins 12, 14, and 18 High Street. The building predominantly features four-pane timber sash and case windows with horns. The roofs are pitched and piended, with slates on the front and concrete tiles and easing slates on the rear. There are coped brick ridge and wallhead stacks with circular clay cans.

Inside, most of the original fabric of the pub interior is missing. The layout consists of a complex plan of interconnecting rooms above and to the rear of the pub. The first-floor drawing room in the rear two-bay extension has a decorative plaster cornice and ceiling rose. There is a staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a mahogany handrail leading to the rear, and an original stone fireplace in the attic room.
