Caledonian Railway Hotel, 69, 71, 73 High Street, Peebles

The Caledonian Railway Hotel, located at 69, 71, and 73 High Street in Peebles, dates back to 1886. This three-storey, three-bay terraced building features a shop on the ground floor and is adorned with classical ornamentation. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked stugged cream sandstone ashlar, with polished ashlar dressings and painted ashlar at the ground level. Notable architectural details include lugged moulded architraves, chamfered arrises, and long and short quoins on the second floor, along with cill courses and a consoled cornice.

The ground floor showcases painted ashlar, with a moulded archway leading to a pend on the left side and a shop (originally two shops) on the right, separated by a central pier. There is a set-back door to the right, and narrow pilasters divide the plate glass shop windows topped with a cornice. On the first floor, there are a pair of windows in the centre bay featuring keystones, while the outer windows are topped with pedimented panels, with a bipartite window on the left. The second floor includes shaped aprons, a bipartite window to the left, and a single window to the right, with a pilastered central bay that has a window at the centre. This bay supports a shaped Dutch gable with a pilaster-framed pedimented oculus at both the centre and apex stack.

The building extends significantly to the rear, stepping down to a three-storey, two-bay early 19th-century gable, which includes a lean-to glass-house. The windows are timber-framed leaded casements, and the roof is covered with grey-green slates. Additional features include corniced ashlar apex stacks, ashlar-coped skews, and consoled and scrolled skewputts. The interior was not seen in 1994.
