Statement of Interest

Unusual shop front incorporating pilasters with composite capitals. These are similar in design to those decorating former Banff Academy, a stylistic feature much used by William Robertson, architect, Elgin. The front wallhead chimney stack is characteristic of some early houses in Banff and Portsoy. Entry to No 53 is through pend.
