Star And Garter Hotel, 1 High Street, Linlithgow

The Star and Garter Hotel, located at 1 High Street in Linlithgow, is a mid-18th century, three-storey, four-bay hotel with a nearly symmetrical rectangular plan. It stands free at the junction of High Street and High Port and features a harled and painted exterior. The building has painted base and eaves courses, quoins, a cornice, and a blocking course on the north elevation.

On the north (entrance) elevation, there are four symmetrically arranged bays. The entrance features an off-centre left corniced doorpiece with hollow-chamfer reveals, a lugged architrave, and a door adorned with a decorative fanlight, flanked by original brackets for a central lamp. A deep-set corniced and pilastered half-glazed vestibule door is also present. To the right of the entrance are two windows, and to the left is one window. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, with smaller windows on the latter storey.

The west (side) elevation includes a window at the second floor on the outer left. There is a two-storey wing that is recessed, along with a single-storey wing joined at right angles to the right, which is screened from the street by a rubble wall. Both wings have piended slate roofs.

The south (rear) elevation features three asymmetrical bays, with two windows on the ground and first floors to the left, narrow windows towards the centre, and one window on the first floor to the outer right. A single-storey wing projects from the outer right, topped with a piended slate roof and slapping on the south face. There is also a gabled boarded pavilion projecting from the centre.

The hotel mostly has 12-pane sash and case windows and is topped with a piended grey slate roof, which includes rendered end stacks and a slate-hung cupola on the south elevation. The interior of the building is modern.
