St Andrews Square landscape architects

St Andrew’s Square was built after 1772, as the first part of Edinburgh’s New Town, designed by James Craig. It was a private pleasure garden for use by local residents but was opened for public use in 2008. The old layout had a single path on an east-west axis running through grass and trees. The redesigned square has a cafe, a very popular water feature and gay planting.
