Royal Bank Of Scotland, 191 High Street, Kirkcaldy

The Royal Bank of Scotland, located at 191 High Street in Kirkcaldy, was designed by Thomas Hamilton and completed in 1825. This three-storey, four-bay classical bank building features a platform roof and is constructed from polished ashlar with squared and coursed rubble. Notable architectural details include a base course, a cornice at the ground floor, a balustrade, a cill course on the second floor, and an eaves cornice with a balustrade. The first-floor windows are corniced and architraved, while the ground floor has panelled aprons.

On the south elevation facing High Street, there is a slightly advanced doorcase with a pair of panelled timber doors and a small-pane fanlight located in the outer left bay. This is mirrored by a similar columned surround that has been altered to a window at the outer right. The inner bays contain windows, although all ground floor windows are currently boarded up. Each floor above has four windows, with those on the second floor being smaller. The timber sash and case windows feature a 12-pane glazing pattern. The building is topped with paired lozenge and polygonal, coped ashlar stacks with cans.

The interior was not seen during the inspection in 1996.
