38–44 High Street (Linlithgow)

There are four residential buildings under the address High Street 38-44 in the Scottish town of Linlithgow in the Council Area West Lothian. In 1971, they were recorded as an ensemble in the Scottish monuments in the highest category of monuments.

Together with the adjoining houses 46-48 High Street classified independently as a monument, the building line is called Hamilton's Land. This is due to the family branch of the Hamiltons of Pardovan and Humbie, whose members built the houses in the early 17th century. The buildings were restored in 1958. Edit source text

The buildings are located on High Street, one of the main roads in the east of Linlithgow, not far from Linlithgow Palace. The three-storey houses are three axes wide. The masonry consists of a crushed stone of cream-colored sandstone, which was roughly built into a layer of brickwork. At the same time store rooms are furnished, while the upper floors are available as living rooms. The south-facing fronts are traditionally designed. The fireplaces protrude gabledly from the slate-covered saddle roofs. The pinnacles for the edging of the building openings are made of cubic stones and easily protrude. This indicates that the facades were once plastered with Harl. A segment arc portal leads into the interior of the building. Single-level Edit source text Weblinks Edit sourcetext
