Statement of Interest

On Kincaid's 1784 map Lothian Road is marked as 'New Road' and flanked by fields. A plan similar to what was built for this area, with a square to be known as Orchardfield Square where the Usher Hall now is, marked 'This square is not built but is intended,' is on Ainslie's 1804 map. The Merchant Company adopted William Burn's plan for the Grindlay's Orchardfield estate in 1820. Nos 37-55 Lothian Road were designed during the period when Thomas Hamilton was acting for the Merchant Company. The 1877 OS map shows this block (Lothian Road, Cambridge Street and Castle Terrace) complete.
