English: Buccleuch Place Built around 1770, Buccleuch Place belonged to the first phase of Edinburgh's southward expansion, partly in competition with the Georgian New Town expanding to the North. It had its own Dancing Assembly and attracted some notables like Francis Jeffrey, co-founder of The Edinburgh Review in 1802. The writer, Walter Scott, lived round the corner in the adjacent George Square. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the University began buying up properties here for use as departmental offices and tutoring rooms.
