Description
The Classical facade on the north side of Charlotte Square - near the west end of Queen Street - was completed in 1791 by Robert Adam and many people regard it as his finest work.

Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, was born at no. 16 and Joseph Lister, who first discovered the importance of antiseptics in medicine, lived at no. 9.
