I think you'll find that the main people involved in designing the Georgian New Town, master-planner James Craig, architect William Chambers, most famously-associated architect Robert Adam and later, Robert Reid, were all Scottish. No English hands needed – we Scots did it all by ourselves. 
How much did the cost of the new parliamentary building over-run by again ?
