George Square (Scottish Gaelic: Ceàrnag Sheòrais) is a city square in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is in the south of the city centre, adjacent to the Meadows. It was laid out in 1766 outside the overcrowded Old Town, and was a popular residential area for Edinburgh's better-off citizens. In the 1960s, much of the square was redeveloped by the University of Edinburgh, although the Cockburn Association and the Georgian Group of Edinburgh protested. Most but not all buildings on the square now belong to the university (among the exceptions being the Dominican priory of St Albert the Great). Principal buildings include the Gordon Aikman Lecture Theatre, Edinburgh University Library, 40 George Square and Appleton Tower. (en) George Square est un square à Édimbourg qui se situe au sud du centre ville et adjacent à la partie nord des Meadows. Le square a été aménagé en 1766 à l'écart de la Old Town dans le nouveau quartier de la New Town. La place a été fortement réaménagée dans les années 1960-70 par l'Université d'Édimbourg à qui elle appartient en grande partie.
