Statement of Interest

A prominent 18th century tenement, making a good contribution to the streetscape of one of Edinburgh's principal thoroughfares. The southside was developed from the mid 18th century, and Lady Nicolson offered building feus along Nicolson Street from 1757.

The projecting margins and rubble construction suggest the building may have been harled.
