- Notes:
- "To our eyes they may seem like works of art; in the Edinburgh of Robert Adam, where excellence was the norm, they were standard architectural features. They certainly went out of fashion, although from time to time there were ?Adam revivals?. Until as late as the 1960s they were regarded as almost worthless, with reports of those that were not rescued by enterprising antique dealers being thrown out of windows to be burnt on bonfires."
