Built by Robert Paterson, 1862, largely refaced 1981. Under the central oriel is a carved portrait head by John Rhind. The inscription 'HEAVE AWA' CHAPS, I'M NO DEAD YET' commemorates the rescue of a boy buried in the collapse of the previous building on the site, of which the six-storeyed rear wing to Paisley's Close survives.
