The Sun Hotel, Lothianbridge, Newtongrange

The Sun Hotel in Lothianbridge, Newtongrange, is a mid-19th century, two-storey public house with a symmetrical five-bay T-plan layout, located on a roadside. The building features coursed dressed rubble that is painted white, with a black painted base course on the southwest elevation and gable ends. The openings have raised stone surrounds, which are painted black on the main elevation, except for the later additions. The first floor of the principal elevation has coped, gabled dormers that break the eaves, adorned with moulded skewputts.

On the southwest (front) elevation, the building is symmetrical with five bays. There is a central porch with an entrance on the left return, a window at the front, and a smaller window in the right return. The gable has a timber bargeboard with a finial, king post, and pendant detail. A pub sign is located to the right, between the fourth and fifth bays.

The northwest elevation features a modern single-storey addition with "The Sun Inn Hotel" lettering on the gable wall. The northeast (rear) elevation has modern harled, flat-roofed additions from around 1985, which obscure part of the older building, although raggles from an earlier gable addition to an outshot are still visible. The southeast elevation has an entrance with a plain timber door to the left.

The ground floor has fixed bowed lights, while the first floor features 12-pane sash and case dormer windows on the principal elevation. There is a rooflight at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a lead ridge, except for the modern additions at the rear. The gables have raised stone coping, skewputts, and a corniced apex stack on each gable, along with a ridge stack on the rear outshot and circular clay cans. The building also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior of the hotel has been much altered.
