A8 Georgian House
The Georgian House 7 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh
EH2 4DR. Tel/fax [phone] or tel (0131)
225 2160 http//www.nts.org.uk/Property/56/ Just
imagine how it must have felt to be the first
owner of this magnificent Robert Adam town house.
And to pay just 1,800 for the privilege! The
Georgian House dates from 1796 when Edinburghs
well-to-do left the cramped, squalid conditions
of the Old Town to settle in the fashionable New
Town. The first owner, John Lamont, 18th Chief of
the Clan Lamont, lived here with his family until
1815 and the houses exquisite collections of
china, silver, paintings and furniture all
reflect the domestic life and social and economic
context of the times. Visitors today can
experience a taste of high society living,
contrasting with the below stairs life of the
household staff who made this elegant lifestyle
possible.

Finale Edinburgh Festival

• About the Festival
• The Edinburgh International Festival presents a
  rich programme of classical music, theatre, opera
  and dance in six major theatres and concert halls
  and a number of smaller venues, over a three-week
  period in late summer each year. Please have a
  browse through our online programme to see what
  was on in 2005, or read preliminary details of
  the 2006 programme here.
• In addition to mounting the annual three week
  programme of events, the Festival has a
  year-round programme of education and outreach
  work, aimed at all ages from primary school
  pupils to adults.
• The Festival began in 1947, with the aim of
  providing 'a platform for the flowering of the
  human spirit'. Right from the start it inspired
  people to put on shows of their own outwith the
  official Festival, and soon these grew into the
  Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Since then half a
  dozen or so more festivals have grown up around
  it in August and early September, and
  collectively these are often know as 'the
  Edinburgh Festival'.
