Description

This early 19th-century public house, located at 246-248 High Street in Linlithgow, is a two-storey building with an attic and features a four-bay tenement design. The structure is made of cream sandstone rubble, which is stugged, squared, and coursed on the south elevation, with raised margins.

The entrance elevation has a pilastered front in stained timber for the licensed premises, with a pend to the outer right. In the center, there is a fanlit panelled door leading to the public house, which displays its name in terrazzo on the porch. Large plate glass windows flank the entrance, separated by narrow shafts, and there is a corniced fascia above. A fanlit panelled door also leads to the pend. The first floor has regular fenestration, and the right side features a rounded angle that sweeps up to the eaves.

The building has plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and ashlar skews. The central dormer is slate-hung, canted, piended, and finialled, complete with a finial. There is a modern rooflight to the left and rendered stacks at the gables.
