 This resource examines the development of the
New Town of Edinburgh during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Edinburgh played an important role in the social, economic and political history
of Scotland, and many of the trends discernible in the growth of Edinburgh in
the eighteenth century, particularly the building of the New Town from 1766
onwards, are mirrored by developments elsewhere in Britain. Comparisons can be
made with Georgian towns and cities across Britain, such as Bath and London, and
with similar population shifts in other eras, such as the Victorian growth of
Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and Birmingham.
This resource takes the form of a pupil workbook
which can be downloaded as a PDF document.
