Description

The Roslin Glen Hotel, located on Penicuik Road in Roslin, was built in 1868 by Archibald Sutter and is an example of Baronial Revival architecture. The hotel is two storeys with a single-storey, timber-framed addition to the northeast. The main facade is four bays wide, while the northeast elevation presents five bays.

The building is constructed of stugged and snecked ashlar sandstone with stugged, droved, and polished dressings. Key features of the exterior include a base course, a string course separating the ground and first floors of the canted bay, chamfered window reveals, dormers over the first-floor windows, long and short quoins, and an advanced, square ashlar panel with the initial "S" to the gablehead.

The southeast (entrance) elevation features a square-plan, timber open gabled porch with a boarded door and rectangular fanlight above. A first-floor window is accompanied by a consoled stone balcony below. A raised wallhead stack with barleysugar cans is located to the left of the centre. The northeast elevation includes a slightly advanced gabled bay with a three-light mullioned window on the ground floor and a tripartite window with a continuous hood mould on the first floor. A square ashlar date panel marks the gablehead above. The single-storey addition to the northeast incorporates a boarded door in the centre bay, with single windows in the flanking bays, and a continuous window running around the left return. The southwest elevation is irregular, featuring an advanced blank gabled wall to the right and bipartite and single windows on both floors.

The windows are timber sash and case, with four and two panes. Mullions are present in the tripartite windows on the northeast and the bipartite window on the southeast. The roof is covered in purple slate, with a grey slate, piended roof over the addition. Ashlar skews, terracotta barleysugar cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.
