302 OLD AND NEW EDINBURGH. [Leith Wynd.
In 1650 it was used as a hospital for the wounded
soldiers of General Leslie?s army, after his repulse
of Cromwell?s attack on Edinburgh. The building
was decorated with the city arms, and many carved
devices on the pediments of its dormer windows,
while above the doorway was the legend-GoD .
BLIS . THIS. WARK . 1619.
In February, 1696, Fountainhall reports a
?? Reduction pursued by the town of Edinburgh
against Sir William Binny (ex-Provost) and other
partners of the linen manufactory, in Paul?s Work,
of the tack set them in 1683. Insisted, that
this house was founded by Thos. Spence, Bishop
of Aberdeen, in the reign of James II., for discipline
acd training of idle vagabonds, and dedicated
to St. Paul; and by an Act of Council in 1626,
was destinate and mortified for educating boys in a
woollen manufactory ; and this tack had inverted
the original design, contrary to the sixth Act of
Parl. I 633, discharging the sacrilegious inversion of
all pious donations.? Sir William Binny, Knight,
was Provost of the city in 1675-6. It bearsa prominent
place in Rothiemay?s map, and stood partly
within the Leith Wynd Port. In 1779 it was occupied
by a Mr. Macdowal, ?the present proprietor,?
says Arnot, ?who carries on in it an extensive
manufacture of broad cloths, hardly inferior to the
English.? The whole edifice was swept away by
the operations of the North British Railway; and
two very ancient keys found on its site were
presented in 1849 to the Museum of Antiquities.
It was?at the foot of this wynd that, in February,
1592, John Graham, a Lord of Session, was slain
in open day, by Sir James Sandilands of Calder,
and others, not one of whom was ever tried or
punished for the outrage.
By an Act of the seventh Parliament of James
V., passed in 1540, the magistrates were ordained
to warn all proprietors of houses on the west side
of Leith Wynd that were ruinous, to repair or rebuild
them within a year and a day, or to sell the
property to those who could do so; and if no one
would buy them, it was lawful for the said magistrates
to cast down the buildings, ?and with the
stuffe and stanes thereof, bigge ane honest substantious
wall, fra the Porte of the Nether-bowto
the Trinity College ; and it shall not be lawful in
tyme cumming, to any manner of person to persew
them, nor their successoures therefore. . . . . And
because the east side of the said wynd pertains to
the Abbot and Convente of Holyrude House, it is
ordained that the baillies of the Canongate garre
siklike be done upon the said east side,? &c.
The line ot this wall on the west side is distinctly
.
shown in Rothiemay?s map of 1647, and also in
Edgar?s plan of Edinburgh. In both the east side
presents a row of closely-built houses, extending
from the head of the Canongate to the site of the
Leith Wynd Port, at Paul?s Work.
In January, 1650, ?John Wilsone, tailyour, in
St. Marie Wynd, and John Sinclere, dag-maker
(i.e., pistol-maker) in Leith FTynd,? were punished
as false witnesses, in a plea between James Anderson,
merchant in Calder, and John Rob in Easter
Duddingston, for which they were sentenced by the
Lords in Council and Session to be set upon the
Tron, with a placard announcing their crime to the
people pinned on the breast of each, and to have
thair eares nailed to the Trone, be the space of
ane hour.?
On the Leith Wynd Port, as on others, the
quarters of criminals were displayed. In September,
1672, the Depute of Gilbert Earl of
Errol (High Constable of Scotland) sentenced
James Johnstone, violer, who had stabbed his wife,
to be hanged, ?? and to have his right hand, which
gave the stroak, cut off, and affixed upon Leithwind
Port, and ordained the magistrats of Edinburgh
to cause put the sentence to execution upon
the 9th of that month.?
In February, 1854, the wall of James the Fifth?s
time, on the west side of the wynd gave way, and
a vast portion of it, which was about twenty feet
high and four feet thick, fell with a dreadful crash,
smashing in the doors and windows on the oppm
site side, and blocking the whole of the steep
narrow thoroughfare, and burying in its dibris four
children, two of whom were killed on the instant.
and two frightfully mangled.
Its fall was supposed to have been occasioned
by a new wall, seven feet in height, raised upon
its outer verge, to form the outer platform in front
of a building known as St. Andrew?s Hall, and
afterwards the Training Institute of the Scottish
Episcopal Society.
As St. Mary?s Street, which lies in a line with
this wynd, is in a direct line also from the Pleasance,
to render the whole thoroughfare more completely
available, it was deemed necessary by the
Improvement Trustees to make alterations in Leith
Wynd, by forming Jeffrey Street, which takes a,
semccircular sweep, from the head of the Canongate
behind John Knox?s house and church,
onwards to the southern end of the North Bridge.
Thus the whole of the west side of Leith Wynd
and its south end have disappeared in these operations.
One large tenement of great antiquity, and
known as the cc Happy Land,? long the haunt of
the most lawless characters, has disappeared, and

ONE of the most interesting of the many old alleys
of the High Street (continuing still on the north
side thereof) is the Anchor Close.
A few yards down this dark and narrow thoroughfare
bring us to the entrance of a scale-stair,
having the legend, The Lord is 0714~ my svjwt;
adjoining it is another and older door, inscribed
0. Lm?. in . tk . is. a(. my. traist; while an
architrave bears a line? from a psalm, Be mmczjX
to me, under which we enter what was of old the
famous festive and hospitable tavern of Daniel, or,
as he was familiarly named by the Hays, Erskines,
Pleydells, and Crosbies, who were his customers,
Dawney Douglas, an establishment second. to none
in its time for convivial meetings, and noted for
suppers of tripe, mince collops, rizzared haddocks,
and fragrant hashes, that never cost more than sixpence
a-head ; yet on charges so moderate Dawney
Douglas and hisgudewife contrived to grow extremely
rich before they died. Who caused the three holy
legends to be carved, as in many other instances,
no man knows, nor can one tell who resided here of
old, except that it was in the seventeenth century
the house of a senator entitled Lord Forglen.
? The frequenter of Douglas?s,?? we are told, ?? after
ascending a few steps, found himself in a pretty
large kitchen, through which numerous ineffable
ministers of flame were continually flying about,
while beside the door sat the landlady, a large, fat
woman, in a towering head-dress and large-flowered
silk gown, who bowed to every one passing. Most
likely, on emerging from this igneous region, the
party would fall into the hands of Dawney himself,
and be conducted to an apartment.?
He was a little, thin, weak, quiet, and submissive
man ; in all things a contrast to his wife.
Here met the famous club called the Crochallan
Fencibles, which Bums has celebrated both in
prose and verse, and to which he was introduced
in 1787 by William Smellie, when in the city
superintending the printing of his poems, and
when, according to custom, one of the club was
pitted against him in a contest of wit and humour.
Burns bore the assault with perfect equanimity, and
entered fully into the spirit of the meeting.
Dawney Douglas knew a sweet old Gaelic song,
called Cro Chalien,? or, Colin?s cattle, which he
was wont to sing to his customers, and this led to
.
the establishment of the club, which, with jocular
reference to the many Scottish corps then raising,
was named the Crochallan Fencibles, composed
entirely of men of original character and talent.
Each member took some military title or ludicrous
office. Amongst them was Smellie, the famous
printer, and author of the ? Philosophy of Natural
History.? Individuals committing an alleged fault
were subjected to mock trials, in which those
members who were advocates could display their
wit; and as one member was the depute hngman
cf the club, a little horse-play, with much mirth, at
times prevailed.
The song of ? Cro Chalien? had a legend connected
therewith. Colin?s wife died very young,
but some months after he had buried her she was
occasionally seen in the gloaming, when spirits are
supposed to appear, milking her cows as usual, and
singing the plaintive song to which Bums must often
have listened amid the orgies in the Anchor Close.
In Dawney?s tavern the chief room was rather
elegant and well-sized, having an access by the
second of the doors described, iind was reserved
for large companies or important guests. Pm
exceZZeme, it was named the ? Crown Room,? and
was thus distinguished to guests on their bill tops,
from some foolish and unwarrantable tradition that
Queen Mary had once been there, when the crown
was deposited in a niche in the wall. It was
handsomely panelled, with a decorated fireplace
and two lofty windows that opened to the dose ;
but all this has disappeared now, and new buildings
erected in 1869 have replaced the old.
Here, then, was Bums introduced to the jovial
Crochallans, among whom were such men as
Erskine, Lords Newton and Gillies, by Smellie the
philosopher and printer who contested with Dr.
Walker the chair of natural history in the University;
and of one member, William Dunbar, W.S.,
? Colonel of the club, a predominant wit, he has
left us a characteristic picture :-
Oh, he held to the fair,
And buy some other ware ;
The saut tear blin?t his ee ;
Ye?re welcome hame to me I

of L z o each, and five of LIO each, to be
competed for by pupils of schools approved .of by
the directors.
The Society?s vested capital now? amounts to

&,~oo, besides the receipts for general shows,
The Argyle Fund, for the education of young Highland
gentlemen for the navy, now amounts to
A5,639, and was instituted by John fifth Duke of
Argyle, the original president of the Society.
From its chambers, No. 3, George IV. Bridge, surveying
a width of range and multiplicity of objects
worthy of its wealth and intellect, its opulence of
power and resource, the Soqiety promotes the erection
of towns and bridges, the formation of roads,
the experiments and enterprises of agriculture, the
improvement of farm stock, the sheltering processes
of planting, the extension of fisheries, the introduction
of manufactures, the adaptation of machinery
to all useful arts, the ready co-operation of
? local influence with legislative and public measures,
the diffusion of practical knowledge of all that may
tend to the general good of the Scottish nation,
and the consolidation of the Highlanders and
Lowlanders into one great fraternal community.
? The Society awards large and numerous premiums
to stimulate desiderated enterprises, and in
1828 began the publication of the Quarter0 lown
d of Agridtztre, for prize essays and the dissemination
of the newest practical information ; it
patronises great annual cattle shows successively in
different towns, and by means of them excites and
directs a stirring and creditable spirit of emulation
among graziers, and, in general, it keeps in play
upon the community, a variety of influences which,
as far as regards mere earthly well-being, have
singularly transformed and beautified its character.?
Its arms are a figure of Caledonia on a pedestal,
between two youths-one a Highland reaper, the
other a ploughboy-being crowned. The motto is,
Sem$er armis nunc et industria. The Highland
Society?s hall and chamber form a very symmetrical
and also ornamental edifice, with a beautiful sculpture
of its coat of arms from the chisel of A.. H.
Kitchie. It formerly contained a most interesting
agricultural museum, which has been removed elsewhere.
Simil7.r societies on the same model have
since been established-by England in 1838, and
by Ireland in 1841.
The other edifice referred to, the Sheriff?s Court
Buildings, contiguous to the open arches over the
Cowgate, was erected in 1865-8, from designs
by David Bryce, at a cost of more than A44,ooo. -
It rises from a low basement, with an extensive
and imposing flank to the south, and presents in
its fapde an ornate variety of the Italian style
of architecture ; but within exhibits simply the
usual features of legal courts, with three subordinate
official chambers, unless we except the Society
hall of the solicitors-at-law, a minor legal body in
Edinburgh, which was incorporated by royal charter
in 1780, and only certain members of which are
qualified to act as agents before the Supreme Courts.
Johnstone Terrace, King?s Road, and Castle
Terrace crossing the King?s Bridge, the foundation
stone of which was laid in 1827, unitedly extend
about go0 yards along the southern limb, or southwestern
skirt of the Castle Rock, connecting the
head of the Lawnmarket with the Lothian Road,
at a point about 180 yards south of the west end
of Princes Street. These were formed between
1825 and 1836, to afford improved access to the
Old Town from the westward. They are collectively
called the New Western Approach, and apart
from being a very questionable improvement as
regards artistic taste, have destroyed the amenity
of the Castle Rock, and lessened its strength as a
fortress.
In Johnstone Terrace, to which we shall confine
ourselves for the present, at the eastern end,
resting at the corner of the Old West Bow, is St.
John?s Free Church, a handsome edifice in a mixed
style of early Gothic It was built from designs
furnished by Robert Hamilton in 1847, and is
chiefly famous for its congregation having enjoyed
for some years the ministry of the celebrated Dr.
Guthrie, and of Dr. Williani Hanna, a graduate of
the University of Glasgow, who was ordained to
the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in 1835,
and who is so well known as the author of ?Wycliffe
and the Huguenots,? and as the affectionate
biographer of Chalmers.
Westward of this edifice is St. Columba?s Episcopal
church, also a Gothic structure, but of an earlier
style, with a low, square battlemented tower;
built in 1845.
At the cost of about ;GIO,OOO, the Normal School
of the Church of Scotland was built westward of it,
in 1845, and is a large and handsome edifice.
It is called the Normal School, or Church of
Scotland Training College. It is under the control
and management of the Education Committee of
the Church. It is a double college, and like that
in Glasgow, trains both masters and mistresses.
The course of training extends over two years,
and none are admitted as students but those who
have passed a preliminary examination ; but the

Wilson, the bell-ringer of the Tron Church, had thc
reversion of his left-off cocked hats, which he wore
together with enormous shoe-buckles, till his deatl
in 1823. For years he and the Doctor had been thc
only men who wore the old dress, which the latte
retained till he too died, twelve years after.
No. 24 was the house of the famous millionaire
Gilbert Innes of Stowe.
The Scottish Equitable Assurance Society occu
pies No. 26. It was established in 1831, and war
incorporated by royal charter in 1838 and 1846
It is conducted on the principle of mutual as
surance, ranks a~ a first-class office, and has accumu
lated funds amounting to upwards of ~ 2 , 2 5 0 , 0 0 0
with branch offices in London, Dublin, Glasgow
and elsewhere.
No. 29 was in 1802 the house of Sir Patrick
Murray, Bart., of Ochtertyre, Baron of the Ex
chequer Court, who died in 1837. It is now thc
offices of the North British Investment Corn
PanYNo.
33, now a shop, was in 1784 the house oi
the Hon. Francis Charteris of Amisfield, afterwards
fifth Earl of Wemyss. He was well known during
his residence in Edinburgh as the particular patron
of ?Old Geordie Syme,? the famous town-piper
of Dalkeith, and a retainer of the house of Buccleuch,
whose skill on the pipe caused him to be
much noticed by the great folk of his time. 01
Geordie, in his long yellow coat lined with red,
red plush breeches, white stockings, buckled shoes
and blue bonnet, there is an excellent portrait in
Kay. The earl died in 1808, and was succeeded
by his grandson, who also inherited the earldom
of March.
Nos. 34 and 35 were long occupied as Douglas?s
hotel, one of the most fashionable in the city, and
one which has been largely patronised by the royal
families of many countries, including the Empress
EugCnie when she came to Edinburgh, to avail
herself, we believe, of the professional skill of Sir
James Simpson. On that occasion Colonel Ewart
marched the 78th Regiment or Ross-shire Buffs,
recently returned from the wars of India, before
the hotel windows, with the band playing Padant
pour Za Syrie, on which the Empress came to
the balcony and repeatedly bowed and waved her
handkerchief to the Highlanders.
In this hotel Sir Walter Scott resided for a few
days after his return from Italy, and just before his
death at Abbotsford, in September, 1832.
No. 35 is now the new head office of the Scottish
Provident Institution, removed hither from No. 6.
It was originally the residence of Mr. Andrew
Crosbie, the advocate, a well-known character in
his time, who built it. He was the original of
Counsellor Pleydell in the novel of ? Guy Mannering.?
In 1754 Sir Philip Ainslie was the occupant of
No. 38. Born in 1728, he was the son of George
Ainslie, a Scottish merchant of Bordeaux, who,
having made a fortune, returned home in 1727,
and purchased the estate of Pilton, near Edinburgh.
Sir Philip?s youngest daughter, Louisa, became the
wife of John Allan of Errol House, who resided in
No. 8. Sir Philip?s mother was a daughter of
William Morton of Gray.
His house is now, with No. 39, a portion of the
office of the British Linen Company?s Bank, the
origin and pro?gress of which we have noticed in
our description of the Old Town. It stands immediately
south of the recess in front of the Royal
Bank, and was mainly built in 1851-2, after designs
by David Bryce, R.S.A., at a cost of about
~30,000. It has a three-storeyed front, above
sixty feet in height,.with an entablature set back
to the wall, and surmounted above the six-fluted
and projecting Corinthian columns by six statues,
each eight feet in height, representing Navigation,
Commerce, Manufacture, Art, Science, and Agricu!
ture; and it has a splendid cruciform tellingroom,
seventy-four feet by sixty-nine, lighted by a
most ornate cupola of stained glass, thirty feet in
diameter and fifty high. With its magnificent
columns of Peterhead granite, its busts of celebrated
Scotsmen, and its Roman tile pavement,
it is all in perfect keeping with the grandeur of
the external facade. This bank has about 1,080
partners.
Immediately adjoining, on the south, is the
National Bank of Scotland, presenting a flank to
West Register Street. It was enlarged backward
;n 1868, but is a plain almost unsightly building
mid its present surroundings. It is a bank of
:omparatively modem origin, having been estabished
on the zIst March, 1825. In terms of a

Buccleuch Place, branching westward off the old
Carlisle Road, as it was named, was formed between
1766 and 1780, as part of a new and aristocratic
quarter, and in rivalry to the New Town. Among
the first residents there was Elizabeth Fairlie,
dowager of George, fifth Lord Reay, who?died in
1768. She died in Buccleuch Place on,the 10th
November, 1800.
The street is of uniform architecture, 270 yards
long, but has a chilling and forsaken aspect. The
large and isolated tenement facing the south-east
entrance to GeorgeSquare was built, and used for
many years as Assembly Rooms for the aristocratic
denizens of this quarter. ?In these beautiful
rooms,? says Lord Cockburn, ?were to be seen
the last remains of the stately ball-room discipline
of the preceding age.? Now they are occupied as
dwelling-houses.
Jeffrey, on marrying a second cousin of his own
in 1801, began housekeeping in the third flat of a - - - -
common stair here, No. 18, at a time when, as
he wrote to his brother, his profession had never
brought in a hundred a year; and there he and his
wife were living in 1802, when in March, Brougham
and Sydney Smith niet at his house, and it was proposed
to start the Edinburgh Xeview; and these,
the first three, were joined in meeting with Murray,
Honier, Brown, Lord Webb Seymour, and John and
Thomas Thomson, and negotiations were opened
with Manners and Millar, the publishers in the
Parliament Close ; and-as is well known-Jeffrey
was for many years the editor of, as well as chief
contributor to, that celebrated periodical.
Where the Meadows now lie there lay for ages a
loch coeval with that at Uuddingstone, some threequarters
of a mile long from Lochrin, and where
the old house of Drumdryan stands on the west,
to the road that led to the convent of Sienna on
the east, and about a quarter of a mile in breadth *
-a sheet of water wherein, in remote times, the
Caledonian bull, the stag, and the elk that roamed
in the great oak forest of Drumsheugh, were
wont to quench their thirst, and where, amid the
deposit of mar1 at its bottom, their bones have
been found from time to time during trenching and
draining operations. The skull and horns of one
-
gigantic stag (Cetvus eZ@has), that must have found
a grave amidst its waters, were dug up below the
root of an ancient tree in one of the Meadow
Parks in 1781, and are now in the Antiquarian
Museum.
In 1537 the land lying on its south bank was
feued by the sisters of the Cistercian convent, and
in July, 1552, the provost, bailies, and council,
ordered that no person should ?wesch ony claithis
at the Burrow Loch in tyrne cummyng, and dischargis
the burnmen to tak ony bum at ony wells
in the burgh under sic pains as the jugis ples
imput to them?
On the 25th of May, 1554, the magistrates and
council ordained that the Burgh Loch should be
inclosed, ? biggit up ? in such a manner as would
prevent its overflow (Ibid). In April, 1556, they
again ordained the city treasurer to build up the
western end of it, ?and hold the watter thairof,?
though in the preceding January they had ordered
its water ?to be lattin forth, and the dyke thairof
stoppit, so that it may ryn quhair it ran before?

In 1690 the rental of the loch and its ?broad
meadows? is given at A66 13s. 4d. sterling, in
common good of the city. Early in the seventeenth
century an attempt was boldly made to drain this
loch, and so far did the attempt succeed that in
1658 the place, with its adjacent marshes, was let
to John Straiton, on a lease of nineteen years,
for the annual rent of LI,OOO Scots, and from him
it for a time received the name of Straiton?s Loch,
by which it was known in 1722, when it was let
for L80o Scots to Mr. Thomas Hope of Rankeillor,
on a fifty-seven years? lease.
Hope was president of U The Honourable Society
of Improvers in the Knowledge of Agriculture in
Scotland,? who met once a fortnight in a house
near what is now called Hope Park, where they re.
ceived and answered queries from country people
on fanning subjects. Mr. Hope had travelled in
Holland, France, and England, where he picked
up the best hints on agriculture, and was indefatigable
in his efforts to get them adopted in
Scotland.
In consideration of the moderate rent, he bound
himself to drain the loch entirely, and to make a
walk round it, to be enclosed with a hedge, a row
of lime-trees, and a narrow canal, nine feet broad,
on each side of it; and in this order the meadows
remained unchanged till about 1840, always a
