Description
The Shelter at Old Edinburgh Court on Old Edinburgh Road in Inverness was designed by William Lawrie between 1859 and 1860. This building features a harled exterior and consists of two storeys and an attic, with a total of twelve bays. The outer bays are advanced and gabled, while the central three bays are higher and more prominent, forming a three-storey, three-bay block with a slightly recessed centre flanked by gabled outer bays. The central three bays have tripartite windows on the ground and first floors, and the second floor features a window with gabletted dormerheads. There are modern dormers on the wings, and the building has a slated roof. A modern entrance is located at the centre, and there is an archway at the entrance dated 1860, which is harled with ashlar dressings. This archway includes a small gabled block with strongly battered buttresses and a round-arched, key-blocked pend.
