In our latest retro look at Edinburgh’s communities, we’ve taken a step back in time to see what people in Trinity have got up to over the years.
Although some buildings date from the 18th century, the area was largely developed in the early 19th century as a mansion house district, similar in style to The Grange area of Edinburgh. Many buildings served as second homes for wealthy families in the New Town, used as country retreats.
The housing style is now diverse, reflecting the area's continued desirability and consequent development over time.
Check out our photo gallery below to see life in Trinity over the years.
