View of the New Town and Fife from Edinburgh Castle

"On the north side of the city lies the new town, which is planned with great judgment, and will prove a magnificent addition to Edinburgh; the houses in St. Andrew's square cost from £1800 to £2000 each, and one or two £4000 or £5000. They are all built in the modern style, and are free from the inconveniences attending the old city." -- Thomas Pennant, A Tour In Scotland 1769
