Salvation Army complex, designed by James Souttar, 1893-6, comprising hall, flats and shops. It is a large 4-storey building, in Scots Baronial style, on a U-plan, castellated and crow-stepped. Built of grey granite to the east with light coloured dressings to the north and south elevations. It has corner turrets, bartizaned tower, string courses and a corbelled and crenellated parapet, with segmental windows on the principal (east) elevation. The site was occupied by a number of buildings shown on Parson Gordon's 1661 map, and prior to construction of the Citadel the site was occupied by the Record Office of 1789 (NJ90NW1030). A watching brief during works inside the building in 2008 concluded that no earlier archaeological deposits survived in this area: the building has a substantial basement level and appears to have been terraced into the lower slope of the west side of Castle Hill.
