The Royal Scot, 395-399 High Street, Kirkcaldy

The Royal Scot is a late 18th century, three-storey, three-bay public house located on a corner site at 395-399 High Street in Kirkcaldy. The building features harled walls with painted margins, a base course, an eaves lintel course, and a cavetto eaves cornice.

On the south elevation facing High Street, the ground floor has an off-centre right door with a plate glass fanlight, an adjacent window to the right, and two closely set windows to the left, all beneath a deep traditional fascia. The upper floors each contain three windows.

The west elevation has a broad gable on the right with a door in the left bay at ground level and a window to the right, with two windows on each floor above. There is a slightly recessed wing to the outer left, featuring a window at the second floor.

The north elevation has a projecting gable with steps leading up to a door at the first floor. The east elevation shows the gable-line of a former neighbour that has since been demolished.

The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass glazing, while the ground floor features small-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto coped harled stacks with thackstanes and a full complement of cans, along with ashlar coped skews. The interior has been modernized.
