Yes, that's something that's struck me several times in 18th century history books, the small size of even fairly significant towns and cities! It must have made a great difference to the landscape the characters are experiencing compared to what we know now. Although I suppose in a city as vertical as 18th-century Edinburgh apparently was, the actual ground area occupied wasn't the whole story.
