Abstract:
Queensberry House has long been known as a major, if much abused, survivor of a group of aristocratic town mansions that occupied the lower Canongate in the 17th and 18th centuries. As the largest of these, in its heyday it dominated this area of the Edinburgh townscape. The approach taken to the renovation of Queensberry House allowed an unusual level of recording of surfaces. The plans and internal and external elevations have been analysed in detail, allowing the preparation of complex digital drawings in which the fabric assigned to each phase resides on a different 'layer' of the drawing, and can be colour-coded. It is thus possible to 'edit away' later interventions from a drawing to display only that fabric that can be assigned to a specific phase. An archaeological/historical study was made of the evidence for the belvedere tower, along with a general review of historical sources and an assessment of historic visual source material. \r\n
