This site contributes to the growing number of resources for house and street history in Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh. It focuses on Malta Terrace, a short cul-de-sac off St Bernard’s Row in the Stockbridge district of the city.
The street dates from 1820, when construction of the Georgian terrace, Nos. 3 to 9, began. No. 2 and what is now No. 7 St Bernard’s Row were built about 1869. Malta House, which pre-dates the Terrace and gave it its name, is now No. 1 Malta Terrace. The 12 dwellings that comprised Malta Terrace during the last century were included in the research for this history.
The research sought to identify everyone who had lived in Malta Terrace. In addition to householders, research identified resident family members, servants and the institutional residents of Malta House. The names of all residents are provided in the pages of this site, though it is always possible some have not been identified. Brief biographical and genealogical sketches of most residents of Malta Terrace are provided. For some residents, only a name and a date could be identified. Information about past residents who may still be living has been omitted.
