Charlotte Square was the last commission designed by Robert Adam, one of the world's most influential architects. The square's town houses attracted Scottish landowners and professional people and the south side's first feus were sold in 1796. During the 20th century these houses were used increasingly as offices by legal and financial companies.
This building is now the head office for The National Trust for Scotland, displaying a collection of 20th century Scottish paintings in a domestic setting. It is complemented by a loan collection of fine Regency furniture, re-creating the effect of an opulent Drawing Room of the 1820s. Shop, coffee house (day) and restaurant (night).
