๐Ÿ“Œ New Town, City of Edinburgh
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Just off Princes Street in Edinburgh, Charlotte Square is an attractive private garden flanked by sumptuous mansions. One of the buildings on the north side is owned by the National Trust for Scotland; its interior has been restored to an authentic-looking late 18th / early 19th century state and illustrates the area’s total contrast to the (then) squalor of the 18th century Old Town, to which the New Town provided an escape to those who could afford it. By the way, the grander mansion immediately to the right is Bute House, official residence of the First Minister of Scotland.
