Marchmont history

---

The area was developed as a planned middle-class suburb by Sir George Warrender in the middle of the 19th century. Most of the buildings were completed in the 1870s and 1880s. The first tenements to go up were mostly in pink sandstone in the Scots Baronial style. The later buildings were often in blonde sandstone and in a plainer, more uniform style.

Street names

Sir George Warrender’s wife, Helen, was the daughter of the 5th Earl of Marchmont, hence the name of the district. Thirlestane Street and Lauderdale Street were named in honour of Sir George’s mother. Spottiswoode Street and Arden Street are the family names of the Earl of Haddington, who married one of the Warrender daughters.
