George Square in Edinburgh is situated to the south of the meadows and the west of Buccleuch Street. It was designed by James Brown and begun in 1766, immediately before James Craig's far more ambitious New Town development. Only the west side and a fragment of the north-east corner of the original square of terraced houses remains. On the north side the university's psychology department is housed in a late 19th century building, formerly George Watson's Ladies College. The rest has been replaced by large purpose built university buildings, constructed in the 1960's.
