Ramsay Garden, Residential complex near Edinburgh Castle, Scotland
Ramsay Garden is a residential complex of sixteen private apartments located on Castlehill in Edinburgh's Old Town. The buildings feature red stone and white rendered facades combined with traditional Scottish architectural details.
The original Ramsay Lodge was built in 1733 but was thoroughly redesigned by Patrick Geddes between 1890 and 1893. This transformation created the residential buildings that stand today as part of an urban renewal project.
The name comes from poet Allan Ramsay, who once lived on this site. The Scottish design elements such as balconies and towers give the buildings a connection to the surrounding historic neighborhood.
The complex sits on elevated ground above the Old Town with views toward Princes Street Gardens. The location offers convenient access to Edinburgh Castle and the surrounding historic streets.
An octagonal house within the complex once housed art students and featured murals of Celtic mythology. These murals were created by artist John Duncan and remain a distinctive element of the structure.
