Summary
[edit]DescriptionGrave of William Henry Playfair, Dean Cemetery Edinburgh.jpg |
English: Grave of the architect who, more than any other, gave Edinburgh its physical embodiment as the 'Athens of the North', thanks to his neo-classical designs for several of its most prominent public buildings, including the Royal Scottish Academy and the National Gallery on the Mound, the National Monument on the Calton Hill and Surgeons' Hall in Nicolson Street. He was also adept in the Gothic Style, as his designs for Donaldson's Hospital and the Free Church of Scotland's New College and General Assembly Hall testify. One of his first commissions was to complete the University's Old College, begun by Robert and James Adam; and he also designed the streets for the eastwards expansion of the New Town - the 'Calton New Town' - in the 1820s. |
