The rebirth of St Andrew Square into one of the most prestigious and successful visitor destinations in Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage New Town is the result of a carefully designed and executed landscape and architectural upgrade by Gillespies.

"The vision for St Andrew Square represents a triumph for partnership working in Edinburgh City Centre. Many thanks go to Gillespies and other members of the design team, who's approach to this sensitive commission within Edinburgh's World Heritage Site has been exemplary."
Gordon Reid, Chief Executive, Edinburgh City Centre Management Company
