Scope and Content Drawing room ceiling at No 6, north side of Charlotte Square, Edinburgh No 6, built in 1798, is the centre of the north terrace of the square. In partial payment of estate duty, it became the property of the National Trust for Scotland in 1966, and established as the official residence of the Secretary of State for Scotland. The first-floor drawing room is one of the finest rooms of the brief post-Adam period in Edinburgh. The ceiling has long swagged oval and corner fans in the Adam manner. Decoration was usually painted on canvas or paper and fixed to the ceiling. Robert Adam employed a number of artists who painted mainly mythological scenes as ceiling inserts. The framing plasterwork was painted in delicate colours of pink, green or grey. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
