India Street
India Street forms part of Edinburgh's second New Town, built at the beginning of the 19th century just to the north of the original 18th century New Town. James Clerk Maxwell, the physicist, was born at 14 India Street in 1831. Of particular interest to Geograph is the fact that he was a pioneer of colour photography.

Birthplace of James Clerk Maxwell
At this house, No.14, India Street, Edinburgh, James Clerk Maxwell was born in 1831. It now houses a small museum in his honour. He has been described as, "One of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world". Amongst much else he did pioneering work on electromagnetic radiation and was the first Cavendish professor of experimental physics at Cambridge. He died tragically young in 1879. His work is said to have paved the way for Einstein and Max Planck. A very fine statue of him has recently been erected at the east end of George Street, Edinburgh.
