Description

The Bank of Scotland, located at 73 High Street in Nairn, was designed by MacKenzie and Matthews in 1848 and later modified by William Mackintosh in 1874. This three-storey building features a polished ashlar frontage and is styled in the Renaissance architectural tradition.

The facade consists of four bays, with outer tetrastyle porches that have stilted keystoned segmental headed doorways. These doorways flank four closely set windows, which are separated by pilasters and repeat the door detail. The first floor has bipartite windows, with the outer pair supported by flanking paired pilasters that hold up an enriched segmental pediment. The center pair features moulded architraves, half pilasters with scroll bases, decorative apron panels, and bracketted pediments.

On the second floor, there are four windows with bracketted cills. The building is topped with a bracketted cornice that includes a panelled frieze and ante-fixae at regular intervals. The gable chimneys have corbelled cornices, and the roof is a shallow piended slate design.
