Tappie Toories, 6 Kirkgate, Dunfermline

Tappie Toories is a public house located at 6 Kirkgate in Dunfermline, rebuilt in 1893 by Thomas Hyslop Ure. This three-storey, two-bay building features a free Renaissance style and is set into a terrace with a narrow Dutch-gabled street elevation. The exterior is made of coursed dressed stugged sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the ground floor is painted.

The principal (west) elevation has a cornice-like band course between the first and second floors and another band course around the second-floor windows. The first-floor windows have moulded architraves with friezes and scrolled open-topped pediments, while the second-floor windows feature moulded architraves that are curved at the upper corners.

On the west elevation, there is an entrance on the left with rounded upper corners, featuring a panelled two-leaf timber door with a rectangular fanlight. To the right is a large window, also rounded at the upper corners. Above this, there is a fascia with a cornice and flanking brackets. Each bay on the upper floors has two windows; the second-floor windows are divided by a rounded pilaster topped with a finial and a panel carved with a star motif. The carved base of the pilaster extends between the first-floor windows. Flanking pilasters on both the first and second floors have coped apexes topped with miniature obelisks. The pediment features a false breaking-eaves gable with a ball finial on a square base.

The building has two-pane timber sash and case windows, and a six-panel fixed light window on the ground floor. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are gablehead stacks with moulded band courses on the north and south elevations, although the cans are missing.

Inside, the layout is open plan with late 20th-century fittings, but three original stained glass panels decorated with a star motif are hung just inside the ground floor window.
