West Churqh. SIR HENRY WELLWOOD MONCRIEFF. I35
and gloomy vault ; ?a memorial alike of the demolished
fane and the extinct race,? says Wilson
in 1847. ?When we last saw it the old oak
door was broken in, and the stair that led down
. to the chamber of fhe dead was choked up with
rank nettles and hemlock-the fittest monument
that could be devised for the old barons of Dean,
the last of them now gathered to his fathers.?
One of the most interesting tombs here is that
of Thomas de Quincey, the eccentric ?English
opium-eater,? who was the friend of Prqfessor
Wilson, and died at Edinburgh on the 8th of
December, 1859. It is reached by taking the first
pathway upward to the right at the Lothian Road
entrance.
On one of the south walls here, where for more
than fifty years it hung unnoticed and forgotten,
is a piece of monumental sculpture, by Flaxman,
of very rare beauty-a square architectural mural
monument, of a mixed Roman and Grecian style,
of white and black marble, which was erected to
commemorate the death of three infant children.
Two families-the Watsons of Muirhouse, and
the Rocheids of Inverleith-retained the right
of burial within the new church, under the steeple,
which is 170 feet in height. Its bell, which is
inscribed ?George Watt fecit, St. Ninian?s Row,
Edin : 1791,? was hung in that year.
In the west lobby of the church a handsome
tablet bears the following inscription, removed, probably,
from the older edifice :-? Here lyes the
corpse of the Honble. Sir James Rocheid of Inverkith,
who died the 1st day of May, 1737, in the
7 1st year of his age.?
The last incumbent of the ancient church, Mr.
Stewart, having died in April, 1775, was succeeded
by the famous Sir Henry Wellwood Moncrieff, D.D.,
who for more than half a century was one of the
greatest ornaments of the Scottish Church.
At St. Cuthbert?s he soon became distinguished
for his devoted zeal and fidelity in the discharge of
his ministerial duties, for the mildness and benevolence
of his disposition, for his genius, eloquence,
and great personal worth. He soon became the
leader of the Evangelical section of the church,
and in 1785 was unanimously chosen Moderator
of the General Assembly. He was appointed
collector of the fund for the widows and children
of the clergy, and filled that important situation
till his death, and received annually the thanks
of the Assembly for forty-three years. He was
author of several sermons, and the funeral oration
preached at his death by Dr. Andrew Thomson, 01
St. George?s, was long remembered for its power
pathos, and tenderness. He died in 1827 of a
lingering illness, in the 78th year of his age and
57th of his ministry.
In its greatest length, quoad civiZia, in 1835, the
parish measured upwards of five miles, and in its
yeatest breadth three and a half. But in 1834
territories were detached from it and formed into
ihe quoad sacra parishes of Buccleuch, St. Bemard?s,
Newington, and Roxburgh. It was partly landward
and partly town ; but, as regards population,
is chiefly the latter now. Each of its two ministers
has a manse.
Before quitting the church of St. Cuthbert a
reference must be made to its old poor-house, a
plain but lofty edifice, with two projecting wings
:standing on the south side of what was latterly
:alled Riding School Lane), and now removed.
At an early period a tax of LIOO sterling hac
been laid on the parish to preclude begging, ? and
maintain those who had been ?accustomed to live
3n the charity of others.? In 1739, at a meeting
3f heritow and the Session, the former protested
against the levy of this old impost, on the plea
?that the poor?s funds were sufficient to maintain
the poor in the landward part of the parish, with
whom only the heritors were concerned ; while the
poor living in Pleasance, Potter Row, Bristo, West
Port, &c., fell to be maintained by the town in
whose suburbs they were.?
The assessment was thus abandoned, and an
ancient practice was resorted to : the mendicant
poor were furnished with metal badges, entitling
them to solicit alms within the parish. The
number furnished with this unenviable distinction
amounted to fifty-eight in 1744, and the number
of enroIled poor to 220, for whose support A200
sterling were expended. In 1754 the Kirk Session
presented a nikmorial to the magistrates, craving a
moiety of the duty levied on ale for the support of
their poor, whereupon a wing was added to the
city workhouse for the reception of St. Cuthbert?s
mendicants.
In June 1759 a subscription was opened for
building a workhouse in the West Kirk. parish j
the money obtained amounted to A553 sterling
for the house, and A196 8s. of annual subscrip
tions for the support of its inmates-a small proof
that the incubus or inertia which had so long
affected Edinburgh was now passing away ; and the
building was commenced on the south side of a
tortuous lane, St. Cuthbert?s, that then ran between
hedgerows from opposite the churchyard
gate towards the place named the Grove. It was
completed by the year 1761, at a cost of about
L1,565 sterling. The expenses of the house were
defrayed partlv hv collections at the church doors

highly qualified examiners, on every point of which
it takes cognisance. It grants annually ten bursaries
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

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

362 OLD AND NEW EDINBURGH. [lauriston.
As a precaution against the germs of disease, the
walls are cemented and faced with parian, while
the floors are of well-varnished Baltic pine. Galton
grates are extensively used, with a view of obtaining
the fullest benefit of all the fires.
A well-lighted cIass-room enters from the south
side of a ground-floor corridor, where 300 students
may have the advantage of clinical demonstrations;
while a similar room, with accommodation for zoo,
holds a corresponding situation on the female side.
A short passage from the entrance hall leads
southward to the great operating theatre, which is
capable of holding about 500 students, and has retiring
rooms in it, one specially for the administration
of chloroform. A wing of Watson?s Hospital has
been allocated as the nurses? kitchen and dininghall,
the housekeeper?s rooms, and those of the lady
superintendent and her assistant. In the west wing
are the dining-room, library, and private apartments
of the resident medical staff.
In the north-west corner of the grounds, and
apart from the general edifice, is a group of buildings,
with a frontage to Lauriston of 150 feet,
which though detailed in a less florid style, yet harmonise
with the general design. This is the
department for Pathology, the principal feature of
which is an ample-sized theatre for lectures, seated
for 220 students, and having microscopic and
chemistry rooms, SEC., attached. Near it is the
mortuary, the walls of which are lined with white
glazed bricks. It is in direct communication with
the Surgical and Medical Hospitals, from both of
which the bodies of the dead can be conveyed
thereto, unseen by the other patients, through an
undergound passage.
To the washing-house, in another building, the
soiled linen is conveyed through a tunnel, and
subjected to a washer worked by steam, a mechanical
wringer, and a drying chamber of hot air.
Beside it is the boiler-house, for working the heating
apparatus generally and the hydraulic machinery
of the hoists, which latter is effected by a
steam-engine of 32 horse-power.
A residence for the superintendent, commodious,
and harmonising with the general buildings, has
been erected near the Meadow Walk, in rear of the
Surgical Hospital.
In regard to its capabilities for accommodation, we
may state that of the eighteen wards in the surgical
departments there are fifteen which will accommodate
sixteen patients, including private beds. In
the medical house are twelve wards, each capable
of receiving twenty-three patients. Including the
ophthalmic, accident, and D. T. wards, together
with the reserved beds, there is a total of 600, or
140 over the daily average of patients treated in
the last year of the old infirmary. The amount of
space provided for each patient varies from 2,350
feet to 2,380, as compared to the 1,800 cubic feet
allowed in St. Thomas?s Hospital, London, and
1,226 cubic feet in Fort Warren, Massachusetts.
(Scotsman, I 8 7 9, &c.)
The Infirmary was inspected by the Queen on
the occasion of her visit to Edinburgh in connection
with the Volunteer Review of 1881.
The Edinburgh Royal Maternity and Simpson
Memorial Hospital-so called as a tribute to the
noble name and memory of the late Sir James Y.
Simpson-was erected in 1878, for the accomniodation
of this most important charity, at the corner
of Lauriston Place and Lauriston Park.
Meadow-side House, the hospital specially devoted
to sick children, is in Lauriston Lane, and in
the most sunny portion of the grounds. It is a
humane and useful charity; its directors chiefly
consist of medical men, a matron, and a committee
of ladies, with a complete medical staff of
resident, ordinary, and consulting physicians.
Immediately adjoined to where this edifice
stands, there was erected in 1816 the Merchant
Maiden?s Hospital, the successor of that establishment
which was endowed by Mrs. Mary Erskine,
incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1702, and
which we have described in a preceding chapter,
as being in the vicinity of Argyle Square. That
old building had long been found inadequate to its
objects, and its vicinity having become crowded
with houses, the governors, zealous for the comfort
of the young ladies under their care, purchased
three acres to the west of Lauriston Lane, which
is a southern continuation of the ancient Vennel
in a spot, which we are told, in 1816, ?united all
the advantages of retirement and pure air, without
an inconvenient distance from tom.?? (SrOrs
Mig., 1816).
Erected from designs by Mr. Burn, this edifice is
still a very elegant one, 180 feet long by 60 deep,
with a bow of 36 feet radius in its north front. Its
style is purely Grecian The central portico of four
fine Ionic columns faces the West Meadow, and is
detailed from a small temple on the Ilyssus, near
Athens. The windows on the lower storey are
double arched, and the superstructure has an aspect
of strength and solidity. The foundation-stone was
laid on the 2nd of August, 1816, in presence of the
governors and the preses, William Ramsay, a well
known banker, and the total expense was about

traction of the name from Mollance to Mince, or
Mons Meg, was quite natural to the Scots, who
sink tlie l?s in all similar words. The balls still
preserved in the Castle of Edinburgh, piled on
each side of the gun, are exactly similar to those
found in Thrieve, and are of Galloway granite,
from tlie summit of the Binnan Hill, near the
Carlinwark.+ Andrew Symson, whose description
of Galloway was written 180 years ago, records
?that in the isle of Thrieve, the great gun, called
Nounts Meg, was wrought and made.? This,
though slightly incorrect as to actual spot, being
written so long since, goes to prove the Scottish
origin of the gun, which bears a conspicuous place
in all the treasurer?s accounts ; and of this pedigree
of the gun Sir Walter Scott was so convinced that,
as he wrote, ? henceforth all conjecture must be set
aside.? In 1489 the gun was employed at the siege
of Dumbarton, then held for Janies 111. by his
adherents. In 1497, when James IV. invaded
England in the cause of Perkin Warbeck, he con-
. veyed it with his other artillery on a new stock
made at St. Leonard?s Craig; and the public
accounts mention tlie sum paid to those who
brought ?hame Monse and the other artailzerie
froiii Dalkeith.? It was frequently used during the
civil war in 157r, and two men died of their exertion
in dragging it from the Blackfriars Yard to the
Castle. On that occasion payment was made to a
person through whose roof one of the bullets had
fallen in mistake. In Cromwell?s list of captured
guns, in 1650, mention is made of ?the great iron
murderer, Meg ;n and Ray, in his ? Observations ?
on Scotland eleven years after, mentions the ?great
old iron gun which they call Mounts Mq, and
some ? Meg of Berwick.?? A demi-bastion near
the Scottish gate there bears, or bore, the name of
&legs Momt, which in those days was the term for
a battery. Another, in Stirling, bore the same
name ; hence we may infer that the gun has been
in both places. It was stupidly removed in mistake,
among unserviceable guns, to the Tower of London
~II 1758, where it was shown till 1829, when, by the
patriotic exertions of Sir Walter Scott, it was sent
home to Edinburgh, and escorted from Leith back
to its old place in the Castle by three troops of
cavalry and the 73rd or Perthshire regiment, with
a band of pipers playing at the head of the procession.
We are now in a position to take a brief but
comprehensive view of the whole Castle, of which
we have hitherto dealt in detail, and though we
must go over the same ground, we shall do so at

so rapid a rate that such repetition as is unavoidable
will be overlooked. In the present
day the Castle is entered by a barrier of palisades,
beyond which are a deep ditch and drawbridge
protected by a ttte-de$onf, flanked out and
defended by cannon. Within are two guardhouses,
the barrier and the main, the former
a mean-looking edifice near which once stood a
grand old entrance-gate, having many rich sculptures,
an entablature, 2nd a pediment rising from
pilasters. Above the bridge rises the great halfmoon?
battery of 1573, and the eastern curtain
wal1,Vhich includes an ancient peel with a corbelled
rampart. The path, which millions of armed men
must have trod, winds round the northern side of
the rock, passing three gateways, the inner of which
is a deep-mouthed archway wherein two iron
portcullises once hung. This building once terminated
in a crenelated square tower, but was some
years ago converted into a species of state prison,
and black-hole for the garrison; and therein, in
1792, Robert Watt and David Downie, who were
sentenced to death for treason, were confined;
and therein, in times long past and previous to
these, pined both the Marquis and Earl of Argyle,
and many of high rank but of less note, down
to 1747.
Above the arch are two sculptured hounds, the
supporters of the Duke of Gordon, governor in
1688, and between these is the empty panel
from which Cromwell cast down the royal arms
in 1650. Above it is a pediment and little cornice
between the triglyphs of which may be traced
alternately the star and crowned heart of the
Regent Morton. Beyond this arch, on the left, are
the steps ascending to the citadel, the approaches
to which are defended by loopholes for cannon
and musketry. On the right hand is a gun battery,
named from John Duke of Argyle, comrnanderinchef
in Scotland in 1715 ; below it is Robert
Mylne?s battery, built in 1689 ; and on the acclivity
of the steep hill are a bombproof powder magazine,
erected in 1746, the ordnance office, and
the house of the governor and storekeeper, an
edifice erected apparently in the reign of Queen
Anne, having massive walls and wainscoted apartments.
In the former is a valuable collection of
fire-arms of every pattern, from the wheel-lock
petronel of the fifteenth century down to the latest
rifled arms of precision.
There, also, is the armoury, formed for the

General Robert Skene, the Adjutant-General there,
summoned all the troops they could collect to
attack ? the wild Macraas,? and next day the I Ith
Dragoons, under Colonel Ralph Dundas, zoo of
the Fencible Regiment ofHenry Duke of Buccleuch,
and 400 of the Royal Glasgow Regiment of Volunteers,
or old 83rC Foot, commanded by Colonel
Alexander Fotheringham Ogilvie, all marched into
Edinburgh, and were deemed sufficient to storm
Arthur?s Seat.
On that day the Earl of Dunmore, Duncan Lord
Macdonald and General Oughton, visited the revolters,
who received them with military honours,
while they ceased not to inveigh against their officers,
whom they accused of peculation, and of having
basely sold them to the India Company.
In their ranks at this time there was an unfortunate
fellow named Charles Salmon, who had been
born in Edinburgh about 1745, and had filled a
subordinate position in the Canongate theatre,
after being in the service of Ruddiman the printer.
He was a companion of the poet Fergusson, and
became a local poet of some note himself, He
was laureate of the Jacobite Club, and author of
many Jacobite songs; but his irregular habits
led to his enlistment in the Seaforth Highland
Regiment.
His superior education and address now pointed
him out as a fit person to manage for his comrades
the negotiations which ultimately led to a peaceful
sequel to the dispute ; but after the corps went to
India poor Stmayf Salmon, as he called himself,
was heard of no more. On the 29th of September
this revolt, which promised to have so tragic an
end, was satisfactorily adjusted by the temperate
prudence of the Duke of Buccleuch and others.
The Earl of Dunmore again visited the revolters,
presented them with a bond containing a pardon,
and promise of all arrears of pay. They then
formed in column by sections of threes, and with
the Earl and the pipers at their head,they descended
by the Hunter?s Bog to the Palace Yard, where they
gave Sir Adolphus Oughton three cheers, and threw
all their bonnets in the air. He then formed them
in hollow square, and addressed them briefly, but
earnestly exhorting them to behave well and
obediently. On that night they all sailed from
Leith to Guernsey, from whence they were soon aftei
despatched toIndia-a fatal voyage to the poor 78th,

to any arms, when, in April 1782, they began the
march for Chingleput.
In 1783 an eccentric named Dr. James Graham,
then lecturing in Edinburgh, in Carrubbeis Close
chiefly, the projector of a Temple of Health, and a
man who made some noise in his time as a species
of talented quack, who asserted that our diseases
were chiefly caused by too much heat, and who
wore no woollen clothes, and slept on a bare
mattress with all his windows open, was actually in
terms with the tacksman of the King?s Park for
liberty to build a huge house on the summit of
Arthur?s Seat, in order to try how far the utmost
degree of cold in the locality of Edinburgh could
be borne ; but, fortunately, he was not permitted
to test his cool regimen to such an extent.
Two localities near Arthur?s Seat, invariably
pointed out to tourists, are Muschat?s Cairn, and
the supposed site of Davie Deans? cottage, where
an old one answering the description of Scott still
overlooks the deep grassy and long sequestered dell,
where gallants of past times were wont to discuss
points of honour with the sword, and where Butler,
on his way to visit Jeanie, encounters Effie?s lover,
and receives the message to convey to the former
to meet him at Muschat?s Cairn ? when the moon
rises.?
Muschat?s Cairn, a pile of stones adjacent to
the Duke?s Walk, long marked the spot where
Nicol Muschat of Boghall, a surgeon, a debauched
and profligate wretch, murdered his wife in 1720.
On arraignment he pled guilty, and his declaration
is one of the most horrible tissues of crime imaginable.
He mamed his wife, whose name was Hall,
after an acquaintance of three weeks, and, soon
tiring of her, he with three other miscreants, his
aiders and abettors in schemes which we cannot
record, resolved to get rid of her. At one time it
was proposed to murder the hapless young woman
as she was going down Dickson?s Close, for which
the perpetrators were to have twenty guineas.
Through Campbell of Burnbank, then storekeeper
in Edinburgh Castle, one of his profligate friends,
Muschat hoped to free himself of his wife by a
divorce, and an obligation was passed between
them in November, 1719, whereby a claim of
Burnbank, for an old debt of go0 merks, was to be
paid by Muschat, as soon as the former should be
able to furnish evidence to criminate the wife.
This scheme failing, Burnbank then suggested
poison, which James Muschat and his wife, a
couple in poor circumstances undertook to administer,
and several doses were given, but in vain.
The project for criminating the victim was revived
again, but also without effect.
Then it was that James undertook to kill her in
nickson?s Close, but this plan too failed. These

The Secoud High SchooLl DR ADAM. 293
Alexander Adam, LLD., with this seminary,
when he was appointed joint-rector with Alexander
Matheson, who died in Merchant?s Court in 1799;
and of the many distinguished men who have presided
over it, few have left a higher reputation for
learning behind them.
Born at the Coates of Burghie in Elgin, in 1741,
he was the son of humble parents, whose poverty
was such, that during the winter mornings, in boy.
hood, he conned his little Elzevir edition of Livy
and other tasks by the light of bog-splinters found
in the adjacent morass, having to devote to manual
labour the brighter hours of day. In 1757 he
obtained a bursary at Aberdeen, and after attending
a free course of lectures at the Edinburgh University,
he was employed at the sum of one guinea per
quarter, in the family of Alan Maconochie, afterwards
Lord Meadowbank ?At this time,? says
Anderson in his biography of Adam, ?he lodged
in a small room at Restalrig, for which he paid
fourpence per week. His breakfast consisted 01
oatmeal porridge with small beer ; his dinner often
of a penny loaf and a drink of water.? Yet, at the
age of nineteen, so high were his attainments, he
obtained-after a competitive examination-the
head-mastership of Watson?s Hospital ; and %I
1765, by the influence of the future Lord Provost
Kincaid, he became joint-rector of the High
School with Mr. Matheson, whose increasing infirmities
compelled him to retire on a small annuity ;
and thus, on the 8th of June, 1768, Adam succeeded
him as sole rector, and most assiduously
did he devote himself to his office.
To him the school owes much of its high reputation,
and is entirely indebted for the introduction
of Greek, which he achieved in 1772, in spite ol
the powerful opposition of the Senatus Academicus.
Into his class he introduced a new Latin grammar
of his own composition, as a substitute for Ruddiman?s,
causing thereby a dispute between himseU
and the masters, and also the Town Council, in
defiance of whose edict on the subject in 1786 he
continued to use his own rules till they ceased to
interfere with him. In 1780 the degree of LL.D.
was conferred upon him by the College of Edinburgh,
chiefly at the suggestion of Principal
Robertson ; and before his death he had the satisfiction
of seeing his own grammar finally adopted
in the seminary to which he had devoted himself.
By 1774 it was found that the ancient school
house, built in 1578, was incapable of accommodating
the increased number of pupils ; its unsuitable
state had frequently been brought before the
magistrates ; but lack of revenue prevented them
from applying the proper remedy of the growing evil.
At last several of the leading citizens, including
among others, Sir William Forbes, Bart., of Pitsligo,
Professor John Hope, William Dalrymple, and Alexander
Wood, surgeon, set afoot a subscription list to
build a new school, and on March 8, 1775, the
Council contributed thereto 300 guineas. The Duke
of Buccleuchgave 500, LordChancellor Wedderburn,
100, and eventually the sum of L2,ooo was raised
-but the building cost double that sum ere it was
finished-and plans were prepared by Alexander
Laing, architect. The managers of the Royal
Infirmary presented the projectors with a piece of
ground from their garden to enlarge the existing
area, and the Corporation of Surgeons also granted
a piece from the garden before their hall.
On the 24th June, 1777, the foundation-stone of
the second High School was laid by Sir William
Forbes, as Grand Master Mason of Scotland. The
procession, ,which was formed in the Parliament
Square,-and which included all the learned bodies
in the city, .moved off in the following order :-
The magistrates in their robes of office ; the Principal
of the University(Kobertson, the historian) and
the professors in their academic gowns ; the Rector
Adams in his gown at the head of his class, the
scholars marching by threes-the smallest boys in
front ; the four masters, each with his class in the
same order ; sixteen masonic lodges, and all the
noblesse of the city. There was no South Bridge
then; so down the High Street and Blackfriars
Wynd, and from the Cowgate upward, the procession
wound to the High School yard.
The total length of the building erected on this
occasion-but now turned to other nses-was a
hundred and twenty feet long, by thirty-eight. The
great hall, which was meant for prayers, measured
sixty-eight feet by thirty, and at each end was a
library of thirty-two feet by twenty. The second
floorwas divided into five apartments or class-rooms,
with a ceiiing of seventeen feet. It was all built of
smoothly-dressed ashlar, and had a Doric portico of
four columns, with a pediment.
This, then, was the edifice most intimately-associated
with the labours of the learned Rector
Adams, and one of the chief events in the history
of which was the enrolment of Sir Walter Scott as
a scholar there when the building was barely two
years old.
?? In 1779,? says Sir Walter in his Autobiography,
?I was sent to the second class of the grammar
school, or High School, then taught by Mr. Luke
Fraser, a good Latin scholar and a very worthy man.
Though I had received with my brothers, in private,
lessons of Latin from Mr. James French, now a
minister of the Kirk of Scotland, I was nevertheless

ward of Princes Street, this estate includes the sites
of Coates Crescent, Melville,Walker, Stafford Streets,
and other thoroughfares, yielding a rental of aboul
&zo,ooo yearly, and representing a capital oi
~400,000, the whole of which, in 1870, was be
queathed by the late Misses Walker of Coates and
Drumsheugh, for the erection of a cathedral for the
Scottish Episcopal Church, dedicated to St. Maq
facing the west end of Melville Street.
Miss Mary Walker-the last of an old Episcopalian
family-died in 1871, her sister Barbara having
pre-deceased her. The foundation-stone was laid
with impressive ceremony, by the Duke of Buccleuchj
assisted by some zoo clergy and laymen 01
the Episcopal communion on the zIst of May, 1874;
and when fully completed it will be the largest and
most beautiful church that has been erected in
Scotland, or perhaps in Great Britain since the
Reformation. The total cost, when finished, will
be about .&132,567.
The architect, Sir Gilbert Scott, founded his
design on the early Pointed style of architecture.
The axis of this cathedral coincides with the
centre of Melville Street, its site being immediately
to the south of Coates House, the sole example of
an old Scottish mansion surviving in the New Town.
The form adopted is that of a cruciform church, the
general effect being enhanced by the introduction
to the central tower of two minor, though still lofty,
towers at the western end. The plan embraces a
choir with north and south aisles ; at the intersection
of the transepts rises the central or rood tower,?z75
feet inheight; the total length of the edifice externally
is 278 feet 2 inches, and the breath 98 feet 6 inches.
The choir is 60 feet 9 inches long and 29 broad,
with aisles 16 feet wide, divided into two great and
four minar bays by beautifully clustered columps.
From the floor to the key-stones of the vaulting,
which is all of stone, the height is 58 feet. The
transepts, which project by one ?bay beyond the
nave and choir, are .35 feet 4 inches long, by 30
feet g inches broad, with aisles above 13 feet wide.
This unusual proportion of breadth -was given to
the transepts to provide ample accommodation for
congregational purposes. To the north of the north
chancel aisle is the library, an apartment measuring
30 feet by I 9 feet. The main entrance of the church
is from Palmerston Place, opposite what are grotesquely
named Grosvenor Gardens. This elevation
is the most imposing modern Gothic fapde in Scotland,
severe in its purity, and rich in elaboration.
The most important features here are the portal and
great west window. The shafts and flanking arches
of the former are of red granite, from Shap in Westmoreland,
harmonising well with the fine nunmore
and Polmaise freestone of which the edifice i s built.
In the vesica of the centre pediment is a seated
figure of the Saviour, supporting with the left hand
a lamb, and with the outstretched right holding a
key. Around is the legend :-
SALVABITUR?
?EGO SUM OSTIUM; PER ME SI QUIS INTROIERIT
In the spandrils are figures of St. Peter and
John the Baptist. Below this grouping are ranged
along the door lintel angels bearing a scroll inscribed-
?TU ES CHRISTUS FILIUS DEI.?
The side elevations of the nave present the
usual features of the early Pointed style, the walls
of the aisle being substantially buttressed, dividing
the length into five bays, in each of which is a
double window. Above the clerestory runs a bold
cotnice, and from the wall head there springs a high
pitched roof. In the gable of the south transept is
anotherportal, the mouldings of which are exquisitely
carved. The window consists of three lancets separated
by massively clustered buttress shafts. Above
it is a rose window 24 feet in diameter, filled
in with geometrical tracery. Above it are five
pointed niches, containing statues of St. Paul and
St. Luke, Titus, Silas, and Timotheus.
the gable of the north transept has some features
peculiarly its own. The wheel window, 24 feet
in diameter, is of a later period than that in the
south gable, Over it is a statue of David. As
usual in cathedrals, the choir has been treated
with greater elaboration of design and detail than
the nave, especially in the triforium and clerestory.
The gable fronting Melville Street is nearly
occupied by a triple lancet window, the apex of
the arches being 54 feet from the ground. Above
is an arcade, the arches of which are filled by
statues of the mother of our Lord and the four
Evangelists. In the vesica is a figure of the
Saviour surrounded by angels in the act of adoration.
The four shafted and clustered pillars of the roodtower,
though framed to support a superincumbent
mass of no less than 6,000 tons, are finely proportioned
and even light in appearance. The tower
rises square from the roof in beautiful proportions,
the transition to the octagonal form taking place
at the height of 120 feet from the foundation.
Viewed from any point, the nave, with its longdrawn
aisles and interlacing arches, has a peculiarly
p n d and impressive effect. Designed in the
style of the twelfth century, the font stands in the
baptistery under the south-west tower. It is
massive, of yellowish alabaster streaked with red

mentioned as residents in it in 1501. He was
Provost in 1425, and was succeeded in 1434 by
Sir Henry Preston of Craigmillar.
Other alleys are mentioned as having existed
in the sixteenth century : Swift?s Wynd, Aikman?s
Close, and ?the Eirle of Irgyllis Close,? in the
Dean of Guild?s Accounts in 1554, and Blacklock?s
Close, where the unfortunate Earl of Northumberland
was lodged in the house of Alexander Clarke,
when he was betrayed into the hands of the
Regent Moray in December, 1569. ,In a list of
citizens, adherents of Queen Mary, in ?1571, are two
glassier-wnghts, one of them named Steven Loch,
probably the person commemorated in Stevenlaw?s
Close, in the High Street.
From Palfrey?s bustling inrrj at the Cowgate-head,
the Dunse fly was wont to take its departure
twice weekly at 8 a.m in the beginning of the
century; and in 1780 some thirty carriers? wains
arrived there and departed weekly. Wilson says
that ?Palfrey?s, or the King?s Head Inn, is a fine
antique stone land of the time of Charles I. An
inner court is enclosed by the buildings behind,
and it long remained one of the best frequented
inns in old Edinburgh, being situated at the junktion
of two of the principal approaches to the town
from the south and west.?
In this quarter MacLellan?s Land, No. 8, a lofty
tenement which forms the last in the range of
houses on the north side of the street, has peculiar
interest from its several associations. Towards the
middle of the last century this edifice-the windows
of which look straight up the Candlemaker-rowhad
as the occupant of its third floor Mrs. Syme, a
clergyman?s widow, with whom the father of Lord
Brougham came to lodge, and whose daughter became
his wife and the lady of Brougham Hall.
He died in 1810, and is buried in Restalrig churchyard.
Mrs. Broughain?s maiden aunt continued to
reside in this house at the Cowgate-head till a
period subsequent to 1794.
In his father?s house, one of the flats in Mac-
Lellan?s Land, Henry Mackenzie, ?the Man of
Feeling,? resided at one time with his Wife and
family.
In the flat immediately below Mrs. Syme dwelt
Bailie John Kyd, a wealthy wine merchant, who
made no small noise in the city, and who figures
among Kay?s etchings. He was a Bailie of 1769,
and Dean of Guild in 1774.
So lately as 1824 the principal apartments in
No. 8 were occupied by an aged journeyman
printer, the father of John Nimmo, who became
conspicuous as the nominal editor of the Beacon,
as his name appeared to many of the obnoxious
articles therein. This paper soon made itself
notorious by its unscrupulous and scurrilous nature,
and its attacks on the private character of the
leading Whig nobles and gentlemen in Scotland,
which ended in Stuart of Dunearn horsewhipping
Mr. Stevenson in the Parliament Square. The
paper was eventually suppressed, and John Nimmo,
hearing of the issue of a Speaker?s warrant against
him, after appearing openly at the printing office
near the old back stairs to the Parliament House,
fled the same day from Leith in a smack, and did
not revisit Edinburgh for thirty-one years. He
worked long as a journeyman printer in the service
of the great Parisian house of M. Didot, and for
forty years he formed one of the staff of Ga&-
nanr?s Messenger, from which he retired with a
pension to Asni?eres, where he died in his eightysixth
year in February, 1879.
In this quarter of the Cowgate was born, in 1745,
Dr. James Graham (the son of a saddler), who was
a man of some note in his time as a lecturer and
writer on medical subjects, and whose brother
William married Catharine Macaulay, authoress of
a ?? History of England? and other works forgotten
now. In London Dr. Graham started an extraordinary
establishment, known as the Temple of
Health, in Pall Mall, where he delivered what were
termed Hyineneal Lectures, which in 1783 he redelivered
in st. Andrew?s Chapel, in Carrubber?s
Close. In his latter years he became seized with a
species of religious frenzy, and died suddenly in his
house, opposite the Archer?s Hall, in 1794.
In Bailie?s Court, in this quarter, lived Robert
Bruce, Lord Kennet, 4th July, 1764, successor on
the bench to Lord Prestongrange, and who died
in 1786. This court-latterly a broker?s yard for
burning bones-and Allison?s Close, which adjoins
it-a damp and inconveniently filthy place, though
but a few years ago one of the most picturesque
alleys in the Cowgate-are decorated at their
entrances with passages from the Psalms, a custom
that superseded the Latin and older legends towards
the end of the seventeenth century.
In Allison?s Close a door-head bears, but sorely
defaced, in Roman letters, the lines from the 120th
Psalm :-?? In my distress I cried unto the Lord,
and he heard me. Deliver my soul, 0 Lord, from
lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.?
In Fisher?s Close, which led directly up to the
Lawnmarket, there is a well of considerable
antiquity, more than seventy feet deep, in which a
man was nearly drowned in 1823 by the flagstone
that covered it suddenly giving way.

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

158 OLD AND NEW EDINBURGH. [Leith Walk.
On the east side of the walk, overlooking the
steep and deep Greenside ravine, the huge and
hideous edifice named the ?? Tabernacle,? was long
the scene of the ministrations of the Rev. James
Alexander Haldane, who there, for more than forty
years, devoted himself, gratuitously, and with exemplary
assiduity, to preaching the Gospel. He was
the son of Captain James Haldane of Airthrey, a
descendant of the family of Gleneagles, and his
mother was a sister of Admiral Viscount Duncan.
He commenced life as a midshipman on board
the Dukeof Morztrose, Indiaman, made four voyages
to the East, and in his twenty-fifth year became
captain of the MeZviZZe CasfZe, and was distinguished
for his bravery amid many perils incident to life at
sea. During the mutiny at Spithead, the spirit of
the revolt was spread to the Dutton, a vessel alongside
of Haldane?s, by the captain of fle former
sending a man-ofiwar?s boat to have some of his men
arrested for insubordination. The mutiny broke
out on a dark night-shots were fired, and a man
killed, Oh this, the future pastor of the Tabernacle
lowered a boat with an armed crew, and went off
to the Button, the crew of which threatened him
with death if he did not sheer off; but he boarded
her, sword in hand, and, driving the mutineers forward,
addressed them on the folly of their conduct,
the punishment that was certain to follow, and
eventually overcame them without more bloodshed.
Soon after this he resigned his command in the
East India Company?s Service, and meant to adopt
the life of a country gentleman ; but an intimacy
with Mr. Black, minister of Lady Yester?s, and
Mr. Buchanan, of the Canongate Church, led to a
graver turn of thought, and, resolving to devote his
life to the diffusion of the Gospel, he sold his beautiful
estate at Airthrey to Sir Robert Abercromby,
and failing in a missionary plan he had formed for
India, he began to preach at home, first at Gilmerton
in 1797, and afterwards on the Calton Hill,
where the novelty of a sea-captain addressing them
collected not less than 10,000 persons on more
than one occasion.
Eventually he became minister Of the then recently
erected Tabernacle on the east side of Leith
Walk, and so named from Mr. Whitefield?s places
of worship. Eminent preachers from England frequently
appeared here, and it was always crowded
to excess. The seats were all free, and he derived
no emolument from his office.
At the period he commenced his public career,
towards the end of the. last century, evangelical
d0ctrir.e was at a low ebb, but through the instrumentality
of Mr. Haldane and his brother, also a
preacher, a considerable revival took place.
The Tabernacle has long since been converted
into shops.
Immediately adjoining it on the south is a low
square, squat-looking tower, with a fapde in the
Tudor style forming a new front on an old house,
pierced with the entrance to Lady Glenorchy?s Free
Church, which stands immediately behind it.
Where now we find the New London Road,
running eastward from Leopold Place to Brunton
Place, Ainslie?s plan of 1804 shows us in dotted
line a ? Proposed new road to Haddington,? passing
on the north a tolerably large pond, on the Earl of
Moray?s property near the Easter Road-a pond
only filled up when Regent Place and other similar
streets were recently built at Maryfield-and on
the south the Upper Quarry Holes-hollows still
traceable at the east end of the Royal Terrace
Gardens. A street of some kind of buildings occupied
the site of the present Elm Row, as shown
by a plan in I 787 ; and in the CaZedonian Merncry
for 1812 a premium of three hundred guineas is
offered for the best design for laying out in streets
and squares, the lands in this quarter, on the east
side of the walk, consisting of 300 acres.
Here now we find Windsor Street, a handsome
thoroughfare, built of white freestone, in a simple
but severe style of Greek architecture, with massive
fluted columns at every doorway. No. 23, in the year
1827 became the residence of the well-known Mrs.
Henry Siddons. Previously she had resided at No.
63, York Place, and No. 2, Picardy Place. Three
years after she came to Windsor Street, her twentyone
years? patent of the old Theatre Royal, which
she had camed on with her brother, W. H. Murray,
as stage manager, came to a close, and on the 29th
of March, 1830, this popular and brilliant actress
took her farewell of the Edinburgh stage, in the
character of Lady Towneley in The Provoked NUSb
a d , meaning to spend the remainder of her life
in retirement, leaving the theatre entirely to Mr.
Murray.
She was a beautiful woman, and a charming actress
of a sweet, tender, and pathetic school.
When she took up her residence in Windsor
Street the ground was nearly all meadow land, from
there to Warriston Crescent, says Miss F. A-Kemble,
in her recent ? Reminiscences,? which is rather a
mistake ; but she adds, ?? Mrs. Siddons held a peculiar
position in Edinburgh, her widowhood, condition,
and personal attractions combining to win the
sympathy and admiration of its best society, while
her high character and blameless conduct secured
the respect and esteem of her theatrical subjects
