As the story goes...there was a contest open to all to submit a plan for the layout of the town. The plan that was approved had been submitted by a young man,17 years old. Another interesting story is around the statue of a dog, a terrier across from Edinburgh Castle, perhaps outside the cemetary. Put there by Queen Victoria after she heard the dog's tale. a lovely story of loyalty. These stories came to mind with your photograph and perhaps they are in writing somewhere.
Thank you for your lovely photo.
It is indeed! Proud to call it my new home :)
Thank you for your reply. In that case, here is a query for you. Do you know the story behind the lay out of the city?
I don't! Very interested though?

Very interesting! The competition is indeed referenced here (under "A New Town). Thanks for sharing!
