George Street is one of the original streets in Edinburgh's New Town development. |
Named after King George III, George Street, along with Princes Street and Queen Street, was part of the original New Town development built by James Craig in 1766. These three streets run parallel to each other and George Street is the central one which links the two squares at either end, Charlotte Square and St Andrew's Square. George Street is a wonderful example of well preserved Georgian architecture with the added interest of statues of various famous Scots dotted along the way. Buildings of interest on George Street include the Assembly Rooms and Edinburgh's Royal College of Physicians. |
