Auld Reekie

Auld Reekie, Edinburgh

The Auld Reekie self-guided trail is worth a visit, it takes you back in time to the 1770s, a period when Edinburgh was changing dramatically with the planning and building of the New Town.

The recommended trail brings together places that still give a flavour of life over 200 years ago, with the poetry of Robert Fergusson who captured everyday life in his writing. The trail explains some of the hidden corners of the city, such as the smart apartments of James Court, and Thistle Court believed to be the first houses built in the New Town

A trail of two towns

At the end of the 1700s the old city of Edinburgh was changing dramatically.
In 1767 a plan by architect James Craig won the competition to create a New Town and transform the city’s fortunes. The New Town would bring prosperity and grandeur to the city – for those who could afford it. In the process Auld Reekie’s way of life changed forever.
