Abercromby Place is one of Edinburgh's most attractive and sought-after streets. It is a long, graceful terrace of elegant grey stone houses dating from the early 1800s.

The houses face south and overlook the mature trees of Queen Street Gardens.

The street is one of the most significant in Edinburgh's New Town, and several of its earliest residents were key figures in Scotland's 18th-century Enlightenment.

The architects William Sibbald and Robert Reid's plans to build Abercromby Place were approved in 1802, with the street completed between 1806 and 1819.

The New Town remains one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential areas. Located in the city centre, the area is characterised by its grand Georgian terraces, strikingly wide streets, and well-maintained communal gardens. It is the largest complete example of Georgian town planning in the world.

Excellent shopping and amenities are located within walking distance in the city centre.

Residents of Abercromby Place enjoy access to the picturesque Queen Street Gardens, upon payment of a modest annual fee.

The property falls within the catchment area for Broughton Primary School and St Mary's RC Primary School. Secondary options include Drummond Community High School and St Thomas of Aquin's.

There are also a number of outstanding independent schools nearby, including Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS, and St George's School for Girls.
