Discover how the wealthy lived in 18th century Edinburgh. This stunning townhouse was designed by the supremely talented architect, Robert Adam, in 1791. Charlotte Square was an exclusive New Town address and it has been carefully restored by Scotland's National Trust. The home combines Greek and Roman influences in architecture, as was the trend at the time, and all the home furnishings mirror the Georgian period. In the bedroom, you will find a four-poster bed with an original 1700's canopy. The kitchen is adorned with Wedgwood china. You'll feel as though you've stepped back in time when you enter The Georgian House and it really does offer a fascinating insight into Edinburgh's past.
