About the building
Originally a grand townhouse designed by Sir William Chambers for Sir Lawrence Dundas and completed in 1774, it became the Scottish Excise Office in 1795 before being acquired by RBS in 1825. The building, a neoclassical masterpiece, was significantly altered, including the addition of a grand banking hall in 1857. Today, it remains the registered head office of RBS and a functioning bank branch.
