Scope and Content St Andrew Square, Edinburgh No 35, on the east side St Andrew Square, the eastern square of James Craig's New Town, was built speculatively in the 1770s and does not have the unified design of Charlotte Square. It began as a fashionable residential area and is now a square of banks and insurance offices. This handsome townhouse, built in 1769, stands immediately to the north of the Royal Bank of Scotland, formerly Dundas House. It has giant Ionic columns reaching through two storeys, and continued as pilasters in the attics, each capped with an urn. The house, along with No 37, the corresponding house to the south designed by James Craig and built by John Young 12 years later almost to the same design, was intended as one of a pair of pavilions flanking Dundas House.
