Statement of Interest

A Group with the Scottish Office, James Craig Walk (formerly 27-31

St James's Square). These are the only survivors of this development, which was laid out by James Craig in 1773 for Walter Ferguson WS. Craig himself may have been responsible for the design of the buildings.
