James III ordered the creation of Nor' Loch in 1460 as a way to fortify Edinburgh Castle's defences, however it was really just the city's cesspool. It was used as a site for execution where people were sentenced to death by drowning in the filthy waters with some even being locked in chests where they sank to the bottom to perish. On one single day in 1624 eleven women drowned there. Nowadays, this location goes by Princes Street Gardens as the loch was filled during the creation of the New Town.

“As soon as I walked in, it just felt in need of a family because it had been a second home for over two decades,” Alice recalls. “It just felt pretty soulless but I loved the proportions of the rooms and the cornicing. All of the Georgian features are just on a bigger scale in the terrace than they are in the middle of the New Town. I really felt it was something that with a lot of TLC we could really bring back to life and make it a really lovely family home.”
