Comely Bank
Comely Bank (Scottish Gaelic: Bruach Cheanalta) is an area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It lies south-west of Royal Botanic Garden and is situated between Stockbridge and Craigleith. ==History== The ground was originally part of Sir William Fettes' estate. The original development was a terrace of Georgian town-houses built to face the main east-west road leading to Stockbridge. This was designed by Thomas Brown (architect) in 1817 and still stands today.〔Buildings of Scotland: Edinburgh, by Gifford McWilliam and Walker〕 The Victorian writer Thomas Carlyle lived in Comely Bank Road between 1819 and 1821 before achieving literary success. At that time, the terrace at the western end of the road was the last row of houses in Edinburgh before the village of Blackhall. Although there was a burst of tenemental construction in the late 19th century, due to other more prestiguous developments around the city the area was not fully built out until the 1930s.
