| Caption: | Specimen of moulded sandstone from Edinburgh, Lothian Region. |
| Description: | Sample of moulded sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a carved surface with a very pale buff-grey colour. This sample has been carved in a similar way to many historic stones in Edinburgh New Town buildings. It is used to help select stone for repairs. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 25. The design for the Edinburgh New Town was full of political symbolism. James Craig dedicated his plan to King George III, and the central street that ran from one end of the town to the other was called George Street. The side streets off the principal George Street, intended for 'shopkeepers and others', were named Thistle and Rose. Parallel streets at a lower level to the north and south are called Princes Street and Queen Street. |
