Marchmont lies to the south of the Meadows, a mile (1.5 km) south of the city centre. Developed on part of the old Borough Muir, to the east of Bruntsfield. Named in honour of his wife's family (descendants of the Earl of Marchmont) by Sir George Warrender (1825 - 1901) who fued much of this area for housing development from 1869. Marchmont is characterised by its Victorian bay-windowed flats in sweeping crescents of sandstone Scots-Baronial style tenement blocks. The grander larger flats occupy the Warrender area to the west, becoming more plain to the east. Most of the area was developed in the 1870s and 1880s and there has been little change to its structure since then.
