Scope and Content North half of Randolph Crescent, Edinburgh, from the west Randolph Crescent forms the grand sweeping entrance from the west to Ainslie Place and Moray Place, the housing development on the Earl of Moray's estate designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1822. The north half of the crescent, with its array of balconies, has had an extra storey added above the main cornice. The end pavilion, flanking Great Stuart Street, the road leading to Ainslie Place and Moray Place, has five giant Doric pilasters. Randolph Crescent was named after the first of the earlier line of Randolph Earls of Moray, Sir Thomas Randolph, nephew and lieutenant of Robert the Bruce, who was created Earl of Moray in 1314, and became Regent of Scotland after Bruce died in 1329.
