St. Andrew Square

Dating back to 1770 and designed by James Craig as an integral part of his New Town Masterplan, St. Andrew Square Garden has been transformed into a haven in the heart of the city centre as part of a programme of improvement works funded by the City of Edinburgh Council and Scottish Enterprise.

The Garden now features a striking modern pavilion, which houses a coffee shop. The refurbishment included extensive work to preserve the Melville Monument in the centre of the Garden, construction of a network of pathways through the Garden accessed through two existing and two new gates, a reflective pool and new lighting.
