I rather like this building right at the church end of the High Street. At ground level there is a small shop selling donated items like clothes, books, china, jewellery, odd bits of furniture, etc. to support the Chest, heart and stroke charity. (We have five charity shops in Peebles, all selling similar types of goods to fund different charities.)
Also on ground level is the front door to the flat above.. I love the appearance of those three wee windows right at the top below the roof, but if you look carefully you will see the two right hand ones are painted! They were windows once but during the 19th century there was a tax on windows and later on glass, so that many windows were blocked up, but to keep the proportions false window panes were painted in.
