The building was purpose built for the Clydesdale Bank and its use has never changed. The door to the right leads to a separate office. This was originally the access to the manager's house. The one-storey W extension was a Post Office at the date of the first listing in 1979 but has recently become part of the Bank's property. It is one of the few Scots Baronial buildings in the town and as such is distinctive within the townscape of Queensferry but it is a standard style of local branch offices built during the later 19th century.
