history
The row of buildings was built around 1790 as a building speculation by James Miln with the aim of offering city apartments for the immigrant rural population. Samuel Bell is responsible for the design . With the row of buildings, Bell created one of the earliest imitations of urban residential complexes in Edinburgh's New Town. Differences in the stone material used indicate a construction in several sections. The roadside railings do not correspond to the original condition.
