NT2573 : Old Fishmarket Close

near to Edinburgh, Great Britain

Old Fishmarket Close
Old Fishmarket Close
Once 'a steep, narrow stinking ravine' when used as a poultry and fishmarket. Within Fishmarket Close was the mansion of George Heriot, the royal goldsmith and founder of the Edinburgh public school George Heriot's. The close leads from the Cowgate towards the Royal Mile. A number of these small closes exist around the Royal Mile, most of which are dark and smelly.
