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. The whole terrace, designed as two very long palace fronts, had two-storeyed houses, except for the centrepieces and the end pavilions, which had three storeys. Nowadays, most of the two-storeyed houses have been raised in height by one storey. Heriot Row was named after George Heriot (1563-1623), goldsmith to James VI, whose vast fortune was left to fund George Heriot's Hospital, and set up a Trust that later bought most of the land stretching northwards from Queen Street Gardens to Canonmills.
