Edinburgh (Georgian) New Town

The New Town in Edinburgh is considered to be a masterpiece of city planning. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. It was built in stages between 1765 and around 1850, and retains much of the original neo-classical period architecture. The area combines gridiron roads with sweeping crescents and circuses. Many of the buildings are Category A listed. For a map of listed buildings see LinkExternal link
