NT24SE 46 25226 40419.

(NT 2522 4042) The Town-House, Peebles is dated 1753. It stands about mid-way along the S side of the High Street, contiguous with other buildings but projecting about 7ft in front of them. Adjoining it at the rear is the Corn Exchange of 1860, the combined ground floors of both buildings now in use as the headquarters of the local fire brigade. The town-house has a frontage of 35ft 7in and an overall depth of 26ft 1in and incorporates along its E side a pend 8ft 8in in width. The building is mainly of interest for its N elevation, which for the most part retains its original treatment.
