About Melville Street

In 1808 Robert Brown made a plan for developing a large part of this land within Edinburgh, with what is known as Melville Street to the main axis. This was and still can be referred to as the West End Development.

Melville Street was at least partly built by 1825-6, the rest followed slowly - even by mid century, saturation point had reached for this type of residential development - resulting in the Rothesay development being entrusted to the architectural firm of Peddie and Kinnear in 1872.

Places like Randolph Crescent and Moray Place give the area a more curvaceous look with classical Georgian fronts. Dean village is an attractive old milling community well worth a visit, whilst all in all Stockbridge is a great place to browse through.

The New Town continued to be developed until 1830, with the noted architect Robert Reid (1774-1856) developing the area around Drummond Place (named after the visionary Provost) and James Gillespie Graham (1776-1855) creating Melville Street to Moray Place from the Earl of Moray's 'Lands of Drumsheugh'- Named a World Heritage Site (1995), the New Town remains a highly desirable residential area with Princes Street being recognised internationally for retailing, and George Street still retains most of Edinburgh's considerable financial sector, although much of it has moved to various Business Parks on the outskirts of the city.
