Here is a view of St Andrew Square, before the monument to Melville had been erected in the centre of the square.

Leading into the square from the west is George Street, with St Andrew's church on the north side of the street and the Physicians' Hall

On the eastern side of the square is the Excise Office, later to become Head Office of the Royal Bank of Scotland.  the lettering in front of the buildings on either side of the Excise Office on the eastern side of the square reads:

-  TO THE NORTH:   Royal Bank

-  TO THE SOUTH:  British Linen Company Bank
