Scope and Content 20th-century view of George Square gardens, Edinburgh The first new residential project in the city outside the confines of the 16th-century Flodden Wall, was designed by James Brown, a far-seeing Edinburgh architect, who built George Square on the southern limits of the old burgh in 1766. This view to the north looking across the square to 20th-century university buildings, shows the gardens, originally for the communal use of residents of the square, now mainly used by students of the university. The whole of the north and south sides, and half of the east side of the square are now filled by 20th-century university buildings, which pay little attention to the original surviving Georgian terraced houses.
