geometry and straight lines of John Finnie Street and King
Street.
There are two historically and architecturally distinct areas
within the Conservation Area: John Finnie Street; and the
Laigh Kirk, Bank Street and Strand Street.
• John Finnie Street: A superb and unusually
complete example of a Victorian planned street. The
distinctiveness of the street is defined by its largely
uniform use of quality building materials such red
sandstone. The scale and character of the street
contrasts with the rest of the town.
• Laigh Kirk, Bank Street and Strand Street: This area
comprises the post-medieval core of the town. Although
made up of largely 19th century buildings the original,
irregular medieval street plan is adhered to and is the
defining characteristic of this part of the Conservation
Area.
