2 reviews of Charlotte Square

UNESCO World Heritage

Charlotte Square is in Edinburgh, behind the castle and near the commercial Princes Street. It was built in the eighteenth century as part of an expansion of the city as it was at the back of the castle and the area was not developed until then. The square is part of the new town which is a UNESCO world heritage site along with the Old City (the castle area)​​. Most of the square was designed by architect Robert Adam, but he died before he could complete his work, then the design is a little less harmonious due to the death of the engineer before completing their work. Initially it was called St.

George Square, but was names on behalf of Queen Charlotte, as there was another George Square. The buildings now belong partly to the Trust for Scotland, which is a partnership for preservation and conservation of natural sites and monuments. Most of them are Georgian and many celebrities of the city lived in Charlotte Square.
