There can hardly be an architecturally more elegant view from an Edinburgh back green than this one. The House was the home of Professor Adam Ferguson, a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment of the late-18th century. Owing to a radical alteration in the 1860s, the facade now faces away from the street. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Ferguson Image
