Map + Aerial View

The First New Town of Edinburgh includes the regular pattern of streets bounded by:

-  Princes Street (to the south)

-  Queen Street (to the north)

-  Charlotte Square (to the west)

-  St Andrew Square (to the east)

Between the two squares, there are three streets running North-South:

-  Castle Street

-  Frederick Street

-  Hanover Street (in this map, joining Princes Street opposite the Earthen Mound.

This section of the map runs approximately from Castle Street to Hanover Street.

When this map was drawn, the National Galleries at the foot of The Mound (The Earthen Mound) had not yet been built, and West Princes Street Gardens had not yet been drained.  The gardens are shown as the North Loch.
