38 St. Andrew Square

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.
