The Georgian House, Category A listed townhouse in Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Georgian House features grand rooms with ornate decorations, displaying the architectural elements characteristic of Edinburgh's New Town district from the 1790s.

John Lamont purchased this residence in 1796, establishing it as his primary residence during Edinburgh's social seasons despite facing considerable financial difficulties.

The interior rooms showcase artworks from Scottish painters Allan Ramsay, Henry Raeburn, and Alexander Nasmyth, representing the artistic preferences of wealthy families.

The National Trust for Scotland maintains this museum house, which opens daily from 10:00 to 16:00, with admission prices ranging from £7.50 to £35.00.

The below-stairs area contains an extensive collection of 18th-century household items, presenting the daily routines of servants in Georgian Edinburgh.
