Description
165 High Street in Linlithgow is a mid 19th century, two-storey, two-bay butcher's shop. The building features stugged squared rubble that is rendered on the west side and painted on the north side.
The north elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a tripartite shop front. It includes a deep-set central door with two-leaf doors that have glazed and etched upper panels, which are screened by a low, 19th century timber shop gate. There are display windows on both the right and left sides, and two widely spaced windows on the first floor.
The west side elevation is rendered and has a gabled appearance, with a single window on the left side at the first floor.
Inside, the shop has a fine interior featuring white glazed tile walls stamped with "JD, Glasgow 1912." The colorful glazed panels depict Linlithgow Palace, the Edinburgh to Glasgow railway viaduct, and a bucranium style frieze. The counter is adorned with green glazed tiles and a pastoral landscape panel framed by pilasters and a moulded architrave. Original hooks for hanging meat are still present.
