Dundas House, Category A listed bank building in St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The cream sandstone building presents a grand Palladian facade with Corinthian pilasters supporting a central pediment at 36 St Andrew Square.
Sir Lawrence Dundas commissioned architect William Chambers to construct this private residence in 1774, which later became the Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters.
The 1857 banking hall addition features a blue dome with star-shaped skylights, a pattern replicated on Royal Bank of Scotland banknotes from 1987 to 2016.
The building maintains its function as a bank branch while preparations advance for the construction of The Dunard Centre concert venue behind it.
The site originally housed a rural tavern called Peace and Plenty before becoming the location of this Georgian mansion against initial town planning.
