Bank Of Scotland, 6 Market Place, Selkirk

The Bank of Scotland, located at 6 Market Place in Selkirk, was built around 1860 and has undergone further alterations and additions. This two-storey building with an attic features three bays and is slightly set back from the line of the earlier terrace. The southeast elevation is finished in polished ashlar, while the southwest elevation has squared and snecked sandstone due to later additions. The outer left of the southwest elevation and the northwest elevation are constructed from whinstone rubble with droved red sandstone ashlar dressings.

The building includes a base course and a cornice between the ground and first floor, with a blind Baroque balustrade above. There is a modillioned cornice at the eaves, topped with an engaged Baroque balustrade. The first-floor windows of the outer bays have moulded architraves with a diminutive cornice above.

On the southeast elevation, composite-capitalled pilasters frame each bay at ground level. The central bay features a canted window with engaged columns, a cornice, and a balustrade that forms a parapet. Above this, there is a window set in an engaged composite screen within a recessed panel, with a moulded architrave above the lintel. To the right, there is a window at ground level and another above it on the first floor. The left bay contains a panelled door with a plate glass fanlight, with a window above on the first floor.

The southwest elevation shows the northwest corner of the main building corbelled at the first floor, with a canted window at both the first and second floors. This elevation may have originally been six bays, grouped in a 2-1-3 arrangement. There is a single-storey lean-to addition at ground level to the right, which has a window on each floor. To the right of the earlier two-storey building, there is a later boarded door with flush quoins and margins, along with a window at the first floor of each bay.

The northwest elevation is gabled and features a modern two-leaf part-glazed door in the left bay. The main building's southeast elevation has plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the rear includes a variety of timber sash and case windows, including 12-pane windows in the earlier two-storey building to the left of the southwest elevation. The main building has a slate mansard roof with ashlar coped wallheads flanking the stacks and coped skews. Each bay features pedimented dormers that break the engaged balustrade, and there is a piended addition to the rear adjoining the earlier building.

The interior was not seen in 1996. Additionally, there is a dwarf ashlar wall to the southeast with cast-iron railings.
