The graceful Georgian streets and squares, a series of steel engravings under a wet sky.
Built in 1763, it is the oldest surviving synagogue in North America. Still in use, the building combines an intimate elegance with Classical grandeur in the best tradition of Georgian architecture. It is also a National Landmark, the highest designation given to an American building.

We have learned many important lessons from our Georgian colleagues and our Ukrainian colleagues. We are studying very closely their method for coming to power peacefully, and trying to follow their example.
We have been protecting the lives of the Russian peacekeepers who had been attacked by their Georgian comrades, because there was a joint peacekeeping force.

I love walking along Leith's waterfront and wandering around some of New Town's beautiful streets and squares, with their gorgeous Georgian architecture.

Georgian England was very radical; there were all these new revolutionary ideas, and I think women had more freedom than they did later on.
