Statement of Interest

This is a traditional tenement building set within the medieval core of burgh on an island site (bordered by High Street to the W, Bank Street to the E and Townhall Street to the N) that was developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The original character of the earlier building is still preserved with most original openings in tact and original sandstone rubble construction in evidence. The property at 4, 4A High Street now incorporates the upper floors of 1 Bank Street and thus also forms part of this listing.
