Statement of Interest

A significant surviving part of the original fabric of Edinburgh?s New Town, one of the most important and best preserved examples of urban planning in Britain; Queen Street was built to take advantage of the northern views, and has survived remarkably unaltered to this day. The difference in design of the ground floor flats suggests that they may have been custom built, or perhaps one was for the builder. Now unified with No 34.
