Scope and Content Nos 1-19 on the east side of Heriot Row, Edinburgh Heriot Row is an elegant south-facing terrace overlooking the wooded gardens of Queen Street. Designed by Robert Reid in 1802-3 as two sections, divided by Howe Street, it was the first street to be built in the northern New Town. Heriot Row has continuous rustication at ground-floor level. The tall first-floor windows come down almost to floor level, making the rooms exceptionally light and airy, and there are elegant standard lamps along the pavement at regular intervals. As happened in the case of the first New Town, where Princes Street, originally a subsidiary street, became the principal thoroughfare, so in the northern New Town Heriot Row eventually became more important than the central avenue, Great King Street.
