Royal Bank of Scotland (former National Bank), Thomas Marwick, 1911 Decent, symmetrical frontage mixing textures of smooth and rockfaced granite, pink and grey in a restrained Scots Renaissance manner. In complete contrast is the crowded facade of the Masonic Lodge, J. G. Falconer, 1903, with heavily pedimented windows and other Baroque detail. No 38, c.1860 (built as the British Linen Bank), a vaguely Renaissance block set sideways onto the High Street, with a rounded corner to its principal, pedimented frontage on Cameron Square.
