Ramsay Garden is a block of sixteen private apartment buildings in the Castlehill area of Edinburgh. They stand out for their red ashlar and white harled exteriors, and for their prominent position, most visible from Princes Street. This photograph was taken from the car park next to Edinburgh Castle. Ramsay Garden was developed into its current form between 1890 and 1893 by the biologist, botanist and urban planner Patrick Geddes although Ramsay Garden started out as Ramsay Lodge, an octagonal house built by the poet and wig-maker Allan Ramsay the Elder in 1733. The architectural style is Scots Baronial. Ramsay Garden is now considered a desirable, though noisy, address with some of the apartments let out as holiday accommodation.
