St Andrew Square, Georgian square in New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland
St Andrew Square features a central garden surrounded by neoclassical buildings, with the prominent Melville Monument rising from its center point.
The square, constructed in 1772, marked the first phase of Edinburgh's New Town development and rapidly became the most sought-after residential area.
The gardens host temporary exhibitions, festivals, and public events throughout the year, connecting residents with Edinburgh's contemporary art scene.
Multiple bus routes, tram stops, and the main railway station within walking distance make St Andrew Square a central transport connection point.
The former Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters, Dundas House, displays architectural elements that appear on current Scottish banknotes.
