This
was one of the several impressive Bank Head Offices
in Edinburgh in the 19th century. This building is
numbered 38-39 St Andrew Square. It was designed by David
Brice and built in 1851-52.
It became a Bank of Scotland
Building following the takeover of the British Linen Bank by Bank
of Scotland, then a HBoS building following the merger of Bank of
Scotland and Halifax Building Society.
