B-Group with 28, 28A, 30 and 30A-D Raeburn Place, 32, 34 and 34A Raeburn Place, 19-25 (odd numbers) Raeburn Place, 27, 27A-B and 29 Raeburn Place and 35-41 Raeburn Place (see separate listings). In 1780 Sir Henry Raeburn married Ann Edgar, widow of Count Leslie, who owned Old Deanhaugh House, which then became Raeburn's. Shortly afterwards he bought the nearby St Bernard House, and consequently owned much of the land to the N of the Water of Leith. In 1813 he commenced on developing and feuing some of this land, at that time known as Deanhaugh, for housing. Raeburn Place was the first to be built, and by 1825 the work was all but finished. The E end of the street was originally a series of double villas, with gardens in front. The gardens were developed from the beginning of the 20th century into single storey retail units.
