Nos 10-12 High Street is a good example of a simple traditional early 19th century Edinburgh tenement. Its regular and well-balanced fenestration is part of a continuous planned run with its neighbour at No 2-8 High Street (see separate listing) and it contributes significantly to the streetscape. The High Street is located at the heart of the Old Town and has World Heritage Site status. Historically the central focus of public, civic and commercial life within the city, the High Street contains many of Edinburgh's most distinguished buildings including St Giles Kirk and Parliament Hall (see separate listings). Its special architectural and historic interest as one of Edinburgh's primary thoroughfares is unparalleled.
