Register House is situated at the east end of Princes Street in Edinburgh. It was designed by Robert Adam as a repository for Scotland's public records. Building work began in 1774 and three sides of the quadrangle were completed by the first years of the 19th century. The north side of the quadrangle was added by Robert Reid in the 1820's and early 1830's. A statue of the Duke of Wellington was erected in front of the building in 1852.
