A couple of photos of a very cute area called The Circus. This is in the New Town area of Edinburgh. This area was built in stages between 1767 and about 1850. In the late 18th century, Edinburgh was dramatically expanded with the creation of New Town, a marvel of urban planning and neoclassical design. Old Town Edinburgh had become very crowded and unsanitary. The New Town area is the largest complete example of town planning from the Georgian Period anywhere in the world. New Town was central to Edinburgh’s identity as a city of Enlightenment ideals and intellectual vigour.
