Introduction and Brief

The site is located on the very edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh has been the Scottish capital since the 15th century. It has two distinct areas: the Old Town, dominated by a medieval fortress; and the neoclassical New Town, whose development from the 18th century onwards had a far-reaching influence on European urban planning. It is this harmonious juxtaposition of these two contrasting historic areas, each with many important buildings, is what gives the city its unique character.
