Bank, still in use, built by William Henderson in 1870 for the Union Bank of Scotland. Aberdeen architects William Henderson and Son were architects for the Union Bank in the north-east. The banks they built were nearly all of a simple standard Georgian type, of which this is a typical example. It is a two-storey, five-bay, symmetrical and classical bank building, constructed from stugged pink granite ashlar with grey granite dressings and raised chamfered quoins to the street (east) elevation. There is a central pilastered doorpiece, cill band to the first floor and a blocking course. The grey slate roof has, ashlar coped skews, gable end stacks and a wallhead stack to rear. Inside, the ground floor has been comprehensively modernised. The first floor is predominantly of the original room plan, and features some simple cornicing. A low, coursed, granite boundary wall to the street has ashlar coping and late 20th century railing and tall gate piers. Beyond the east gate pier a rubble boundary wall with rubble coping continues, and extends to the south side of the building.
