West Register House was completed in 1811, originally as St George's Church. Standing in Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, the church was intended to mirror another church at the opposite end of George Street, but this plan was never realised. The original design for the building was made by Robert Adam, but his plans were substantially modified by Robert Reid. The building was taken over by the government in 1964 and is now used by the National Archives of Scotland.
