Tour Scotland video of the Robert Reid gravestone on ancestry visit to Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland. Robert was born in 1774, and died in 1856, he was King's architect and surveyor in Scotland. Reid was responsible for many public works, primarily in Edinburgh, including the Law Courts in Parliament Square. He also worked on the detailed layout of Robert Adam's Charlotte Square after that architect's death and built a house there for himself. In the square he completed the design for St. George's Church, which is now West Register House, which had again been started by Adam. Reid planned the northern part of Edinburgh's New Town in 1802 and extended Adam's Register House in 1834.
