This covered passageway leads through NS3975 : Glencairn's Greit House (NS3975 : Glencairn's Greit House in the High Street). It was earlier called the Penmouth Vennel, but came to be called Quay Pend for reasons that are explained in NS3975 : Riverside walk beside the River Leven, a picture which shows the riverside area at the other end of the pend. See NS3975 : Quay Pend for a view through it in the opposite direction.

In the present picture, two old corbel stones can be seen projecting from the wall just above the opening; these were originally part of the Collegiate Church: see NS3975 : Ancient stones, Glencairn's Greit House and NS3975 : The College Bow.

The blue plaque on the left is affixed to NS3975 : The former Burton's building (the opening of the pend is also visible in that picture). Directly below the plaque is a foundation stone: NS3975 : The former Burton's building: foundation stone.
