Description
The new town between Princes Street and the Firth of Forth is still regarded as a masterpiece of Georgian town planning. The plans were proposed in 1767 by the 26-year-old James Craig. His checkerboard street pattern with Classical, three-story buildings arranged around grand crescents and squares was later realized by architects Robert Reid, Archibald Elliot, William Playfair and James Gillespie Graham.
