Water of Leith walkway is less than 5 minutes away, along which you

a delightful walk and you wouldn’t think you were in the city – all
you can hear is the water and the local wildlife. The
city centre and Princes Street is within easy walking distance and
has an excellent bus service. A little bit of history ... Duncan’s Land is a merchant's house built about 1790 from the stones of demolished buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town. It was the birthplace of the artist, David Roberts (1796-1864), who worked as a scene painter at Edinburgh's Theatre Royal and London's Covent Garden. In 1830, he was appointed President of the Society of British Artists. During the following decade he toured the Far East, producing a celebrated series of paintings of Egyptian scenes and antiquities. David Roberts was a Commissioner of the Great Exhibition of Industry and Arts in 1851. A plaque on the wall of the house celebrates his birthplace. In 2011 Duncan’s Land was completely renovated with a new kitchen, new furniture, new carpets and repainted throughout. Click here for more history of Duncan's Land and David Roberts. |
