Register House (Princes Street, Edinburgh) contains the Scottish national archives. It was built by Robert
Adam and was in use by 1778, though completion took many years. One of the finest features is the magnificent dome. The equestrian statue of the duke of
Wellington, facing North bridge, is by Sir John Steele and was erected in 1852.
