James Hill was a mason who built the street with finance from Robert Belshes of Greenyeards. A match for, and the same build as, Nos 14-18. Listed at Category A, despite the regrettable painting, as 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.
