About this property
Step back in time to the elegance and refinement of Edinburgh's New Town in the late 18th century - a time when Edinburgh's well-to-do left the cramped, squalid conditions of the Old Town to settle in the fashionable New Town.

Imagine how it must have felt to be John Lamont, the first owner of this magnificent Robert Adam designed town house - and to pay just £1,800 for the privilege! Explore John’s home to discover what life was like for the wealthy in Edinburgh 200 years ago.

Contrast this with the ‘below stairs’ life of the household staff who made this elegant lifestyle possible.
