The vaults were occupied by tradesmen, shops and taverns the first underground shopping mall. This did not last due to the conditions of the vaults with lack of light and air, the vaults were soon abandoned. It is not known when the vaults complex was closed down, with some suggesting as early as c. 1835 and others as late as c. 1875. Written records regarding the vaults during their slum use are virtually non-existent. There are areas within The Caves that are the building remains of what was Adam Square, which was demolished to make way for the erection of the South Bridge. The original terracotta floor tiles, a hearth stone, and what remains of a fireplace, were found in one of the rooms within The Caves whilst it was being excavated. In another room, within The Caves, a well was found. South Bridge started in 1785, when the 19 arches to support it were built. The vaults, chambers and tunnels underneath it were walled in and sectioned off the descending levels. By 1788, when South Bridge was officially opened, approximately 120 vaults, or rooms, were ready. Blair Street Blair Street was formed when the South Bridge was being built in 1768.

Blair Street as Hunter Square was named after Lord Provost Sir James Hunter Blair. Marlin’s (Merlyoune) Wynd Marlin’s Wynd is below the level of the present streets as Mary King’s Close is.

He requested in memory of his work that he would be buried underneath the paving stones. He was buried at the head of the Wynd (which was named after him) by paving stones in the shape of a grave. Other writings mention that the High Street was paved in 1532 by two brothers John and Bartoulme Foliot. Also a John Merlyoune was first to pave Marlin's Wynd 1542.

The Duddingston Village Edinburgh History has the oldest pub Sheep Heid easy way up Arthur Seat, nature reserve, Duddingston Loch and Bonnie Prince Charlie DUDDINGSTON VILLAGE EDINBURGH HISTORY & ATTRACTIONS DUDDINGSTON LOCH at Dodin’s Village (Duddingston Village) dates back to the 1100s and replaced Treverlen the name of the land owners of the area. The name Duddingston is said to come from the Norman Knight Dodin de Dodinestun who settled in the area. An earlier Bronze Age settlement / lake village may lay buried beyond the car park next to the gate. Duddingston Loch is a nature reserve with swans, geese,ducks and otters. It was previously used for ice skating curling and boating. There is a famous painting by Sir Henry Raeburn of a minister ice skating on the Duddingston Loch. SHEEP HEID INN The Causway, Duddingston Village known originally as Dodin Village. It is said that a drinking house has been on the site since the 1300s and Bonnie Prince Charlie may have drank here before the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745. There is no definite proof of how old the pub is or how it got its name but Royalty played skittles in the back yard and a bowling alley was built in 1870. A club founded in 1882 still exists and plays once a week. A gift given to the landlord in 1580 by King James VI was a rams head snuff box, which is now in Dalmeny House and a copy is behind the bar. The village was known for the slaughter of sheep and the use of the heads for soup (powsowadie) a local broth. THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE END Camped around Dunsapie Loch on Arthur Seat the army of Bonnie Prince Charlie awaited instructions from the war council being held in the house pictured below in Duddingston Village on the night of the 19 September 1745 before the Battle of Prestonpans took place. The Battle at Prestonpans was an monumental victory for the Jacobite army over the English army of red coats. The Jacobite army lead by Bonnie Prince Charlie (Charles Edward Stuart) went on to battle their way as far as Derby, before turning back with the might of the English army in chase. After 7 months of battles, the end came in just 20 minutes at the battle of Culloden where the English wiped out the Jacobite's and ended the Stuarts regaining the throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie fled to Skye and then into Europe. Duddingston Loch a wildlife sanctuary. The plaque with the quote by John Thomson one time minister of Duddingston Kirk, ‘We’re all Jock Tamson’s bairns’, (Meaning) We are all the same. Duddingston Village full of history and an easy way up Arthur Seat. With steps that take you halfway and a gentle slope the remainder of the way to the top. Midpoint a bench for a rest and Dunsapie Loch with a view of East Lothian. UNDER THE SEAT BESIDE THE WATER MAKES A HOME FOR A' JOCK TAMSON'S BAIRNS The Loupin on stane is found outside many churches in Scotland as it was a way for gentlemen to get on their horses. The Jougs is a neck brace which would be put around the criminal's neck while passers by would throw rotten food at whoever was in the jougs Duddingston Kirk is a Norman style Church overlooking Duddingston Loch built in the early 1100s and is one of the oldest churches still in use in the East of Scotland. Duddingston War Memorial Duddingston War Memorial. The Celtic Cross was erected in 1921 in memory of those who fell in the First World War. Arthur Seat (Easy Way Up) Duddingston Village There is a car park just inside the gates of the Queen's Park at the foot of Arthur Seat.

Craigmillar Castle now ruins where Films TV Shows have been made. Best preserved medieval Castle in UK. Many historic momemts in History happened here. Craigmillar Castle Edinburgh Prestonfield #OUTLANDER FILM LOCATION Craigmillar Castle is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland. It has a central tower house which is surrounded by a courtyard wall and has a chapel and a do’cot. Craigmillar Castle was built in the late 14th century by the Preston family, Land owners of Craigmillar. Craigmillar Castle is best known for its association with Mary Queen of Scots. She used the castle as a place to rest after illness and after the birth of her son the future James I of England. Mary arrived at Craigmillar Castle on the 20th November 1566 and left on 7 December 1566. In November Bothwell met with nobles at Craigmillar Castle to discuss Lord Darnley. They came up with two options, divorce or assassination. They then consulted with Mary, she ruled out divorce, because it would make her son illegitimate. As for 'other means', she said that she wanted 'nothing against her honour'. The nobles saw this as her agreement to kill her husband and on leaving the nobles signed an agreement to murder Darnley. A pact known as the "Craigmillar Bond" was made, to be rid of her husband Lord Darnley. The garden pond shaped as the initial "P" can still be seen. It was Simon Prestons’ town House in Edinburgh that Mary Queen of Scots spent her last night before she was taken to Leven then on to England to spend the next 19 years in imprisonment before her execution. It was Elizabeth I the cousin of Mary Queen of Scots that had her executed. Prestonfield Edinburgh The area of Craigmillar in the east was purchased and added to the Barony of Priestfield owned by Sir James Dick. The first house was named Priestfield, as the monks had previously been the landowners. Priestfield House was burned to the ground in 1680 by anti-Catholic student protesters (the Dick's being Catholic) and as a consequence the Edinburgh council closed the University of Edinburgh until they could see improvement in the student’s behaviour. The reason for the targeting of Priestfield and Sir James Dick was he held the position of Provost of the University of Edinburgh. The Dick family lived in Prestonfield House for over 250 years. A new house was built by Sir William Bruce, king’s architect. At that time the house was renamed Prestonfield House. In the years to follow Prestonfield house greeted many famous guests that included Bonnie Prince Charlie, Samuel Jonson and James Boswell. Benjamín Franklin was entertained by the president of the Royal College of Physicians, Sir Alexander Dick, at his home, Prestonfield in 1759. The House still stands with many renovations and modernisation over the centuries it still stands, now a hotel and has been a popular venue for the celebrities for the last 50 years with guest such as Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Sean Connery, Elton John, Catherine Zeta Jones, Oliver Reed and many more.
