What Can We Do?
Sitting in the glen between the Old and New Towns was the
Nor' Loch, which had been both the city's water supply and
place for dumping sewage. By the 1820s it was drained. Some

Princes Street Gardens were Sage Accounts created instead.
Excess soil from the construction of the buildings was dumped
into the loch, creating what is now The Mound. In the mid-19th
century the National Gallery of Scotland Sage Accounts
and Royal Scottish Academy Building were built on The Mound,

Town was so successful that it was extended greatly. The grid
pattern was not maintained, but rather a more picturesque
layout was created.
Today the New Town is considered by many to be one of the
finest examples Sage Accounts of Georgian architecture
and planning in the world.
