| St
Vincent Place is the last natural gap in this UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Expectations were high. The original New Town plan shows Fettes Row flowing straight into St Stephen's Street. Where they were to join, St Vincent Street would point south towards the castle, forming a “T” junction. All that changed with St Stephen's Church, which sits in the middle of the planned junction. While a stunning landmark, it also posed a complicated planning problem - one the Georgians were unable to solve. How to complete the street plan given St Stephen's placement and the dramatic contours of the ground? The answer lies in a mix of modern engineering, traditional materials and daring yet sympathetic design. Finally, the New Town will be complete. |
