The Edinburgh World Heritage Trust has disbursed funds for the restoration of a prominent New Town corner-block.

Nos 22–22a Dundas Street and the adjoining 37 Northumberland Street were awarded £12,993 towards the cost of stonework repairs to the frontages, parapet wall and chimneys.

The four-storey, B-listed properties were built in 1807 to earlier designs by Robert Reid and William Sibbald, whose other local projects include London Street and Royal Crescent.
