Georgian House

7 Charlotte Square
0131 225 2160

Work began on Charlotte Square, designed by architect Robert Adam, in 1792 and went on until its completion in 1820. The Georgian House was built in 1796. The National Trust for Scotland opened the property as the Georgian House in 1975. Today, the house holds a vivid recreation of life at the change of the century when it was first built. Visitors can experience both sides of the coin: the luxury of the upstairs high society and the "below stairs" life of the servants who were at their beck and call. There is a touch screen cd-rom as well as the audio visual programme called "Living in a grand Design" (new, summer 2005).
