Edinburgh and the New Town (1750-1850)
In the early 1700s, overcrowding in the ancient “Old Town” and advances in technology led to the first planned city in the world. Sited to the north of the Royal Mile, New Town was the result. Construction began in approximately 1750 and continued for 100 years.
The buildings facades are limestone, and all streets were originally cobbled. Strong interest in preservation of the area led to the entire district being designated as “listed.” Property owners area under strict guidelines as to paint colors for doors and windows as well as interior modifications to homes and offices.
This flat is also sited close to the Stockbridge shopping area, with all amenities, including hairdressers. Many restaurants and ‘take out/takeaways’ are close by, and two major bus lines are a short street away in two directions.
Edinburgh, Scotland has the most ‘user friendly’ airport in the world. “Kneeling” buses to the city run at 10-minute intervals, and the fare is $10 round trip for the 30 minute journey. In the city, taxis abound, and buses offer 24 hour day passes for $5. Hotels run from $125 per night, so renting a flat for short-term stays makes economic sense.
