52 Charlotte Street:
In the 1780s Robert Adam designed numerous houses sited on Charlotte Street. Number 52 is the last one remaining. The grandest of them was the house (demolished 1954) designed for David Dale on the corner of Charlotte Street and Greendyke Street where the Gillespie Kidd and Coia designed Our Lady and St Francis Secondary school extension now sits. 52 Charlotte Street further up the street is a more modest house than the Dale House, composed of two storeys with an attic, and five window bays across the east (front) elevation, a modest entranceway and a lightly detailed pediment atop of the classical symmetrical front facade. Since 1989 the house has been run as guesthouse comprising of six self-contained flats following the sympathetic restoration by the National Trust for Scotland. Category A listing.
