Romanes & Paterson

Romanes and Paterson is a traditional 19th century shop on Princes Street in Edinburgh.

In 1850 he is still living in a flat at India Street, whereas Robert Romanes had moved out of the city by this time.

This building originally dates from around 1780 but was remodelled in 1870 by Robert Reid Raeburn - giving it its current "gingerbread house" appearance.

Robert was born the son of James romanes at 2 Buccleuch Place in south Edinburgh on 2 January 1821.

The grave is marked by an obelisk which stands on the north side of the main east west path, between the central monument to the 79th Highlanders and the pyramid on "Lords Row".
