Statement of Interest

The plan and elevation of the terrace appears to have been drawn up by Robert Reid Raeburn, but the detailed arrangement of each house was left to individual developers. For example, the architect Alexander McTavish owned the land at Nos 13 and 14, and drew up his own plans for the construction of the house within Raeburn's scheme. Raeburn himself owned No 12.
