| Description: | Sample of Auchinlea sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a very pale buff-grey colour. This sample is part of a large collection of different sandstones that is used in the selection of the best matching sandstones for repairs to historic buildings in Edinburgh. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 26. Over time the original New Town of Edinburgh has changed from a residential area to a shopping quarter, and is now an important business centre. Over the two hundred years or so the Edinburgh New Town has remained much the same, demonstrating the effectiveness of James Craig's original plan in 1766. Only since the 1950s has strict control of new buildings become necessary. |
