Only the ground floor shop is No. 8 East Terrace. The flat above is No. 9/3. No. 9/1 is the ground floor of No. 9 and No. 9/2 comprises the 1st floor and attic of No. 9. Both 9/2 and 9/3 are accessed by the common stair. The distinctive gablet of No. 9 reflects Queensferry's maritime history and its trading links with Scandinavia.
Although there is a marriage lintel on the front of No. 8 this is not conclusive proof of the date of the building. It was common to reuse parts of demolished buildings in the construction of new houses and this definitely appears to have been the case in this instance as another lintel, of an earlier date, is seen on the rear elevation. The run rig garden wall is very interesting as marriage lintels and fragments from gravestones were used in its construction; the run-rig gardens of houses on East Terrace appear on an 18th century map: J Adair, Map of West Lothian, 1737.
