Description
The Caledonian Hotel, located on High Street in Dingwall, is an early 19th century building featuring three storeys and an attic with four wide bays. The front is rendered and lined to resemble ashlar, while the gable facing Forge Street is made of whitewashed rubble. The ground floor is painted in contrasting colors.
The central door is corniced and has a moulded architrave, with two windows on the left and a single window and door in the outer bay on the right. The ground floor windows have been enlarged, and two of the central first-floor windows have also been enlarged into bipartites. The windows have 12-pane glazing, and there are two dormers with 6-pane glazing on the roof. The building features a stepped wallhead and corniced end stacks, all topped by a slate roof. Additionally, there are two rear wings: one facing Forge Street and another that runs parallel with a tripartite arrangement on the first floor.
