  Robert Adam - Charlotte Square Edinburgh
There are three principal east-west streets, the central one connecting two formal squares each of which has a church on the side facing the street entrance (and therefore facing each other along the length of the central street), and the outer two of which are prolonged beyond the lines of the two squares.
The sole difference was that in Charlotte Square, one of the conditions on which the ground was feued was that the front wall should be built to conform to Adam’s elevation.
The first feu in Charlotte Square was granted in 1792, shortly after Robert Adam’s death, but the outbreak of war with revolutionary France led to a downturn in the building market and after the completion of that first house, it took a considerable time for others to be built.

One end is closed by the castle and the main artery The High Street (or the Royal Mile) leads away from it; minor streets (called closes or wynds) bud off the main spine in a herringbone pattern.
This layout, typical of the old quarters of many northern European cities, is made especially picturesque in Edinburgh, where the castle perches on top of a rocky crag, the remnants of a dormant volcano, and the main street runs down the crest of a ridge from it.
The latter was designed by Robert Adam and is often considered one of the finest Georgian squares in Britain.
