NW (REAR) ELEVATIONS: 1 window per bay on ground and 1st floor; square mansard-roofed projection (modern addition to No 108).
SW ELEVATIONS: windows to each floor at centre, wallhead stack linked to roof and scrolled at base above; to left, single window at 1st floor; to right, boxdormer with timber bipartite windows, corniced and carved aprons.
NE ELEVATIONS: as SW elevations.
Timber sash and case windows, plate glass glazing to front, 4-pane to rear and sides; Scottish slate roof, 2 wallhead stacks (see above), 1 party wall stack to rear flanked by plain boxdormers with timber mullioned bipartite windows.

One of an identical pair, the others are Nos 108 and 110. The houses are part of a group of eight (others of lesser interest), built by Peter Craig Renton, the Colinton Road builder, who was responsible for much of the development of Merchiston in the last quarter of the 19th century.
