The statue "man on the street". Leith (Leytht) Wynd | Cranston Street Edinburgh Leith Wynd or Leytht Wynd (1514) was a road that started on the North Side of the Nether Bow Gate at what is Cranston Street and continued to the back of the Canongate (Calton Road) near to the entrance of Waverley Station on Calton Road and was used by the coaches to London. I have included Leith Wynd in the Closes of the Royal Mile as I felt that it gives an idea of how difficult it was to get into Edinburgh prior to the New Town and the draining of the Nor’ Loch. From the Head of the Canongate Leith Wynd travelled down to the foot of Calton Hill then west around the Calton Hill to joint Leith Street. Cranston Street was named in 1874 after Robert Cranston the councillor of the Canongate at that time. His son Robert became Lord Provost in 1891. The northern half of the street disappeared when Waverley Station goods yard and East Market Street were built circa 1850. The Canongate Christian Institute 2 Cranston Street, Edinburgh, was a Christian mission opening circa 1878. This was a place of worship for the old town. It held gospel meetings and services until its closure in 1930. The White Horse Inn The White Horse Inn (Boyd’s Inn) is the oldest Inn in the Canongate Edinburgh with the stables at the rear with entry from Gullan’s Close for passengers. The coaches and horses entered from Boyd’s Entry a short distance down St Mary’s Wynd, Boyd’s Inn now known as The White Horse Inn, was the starting point of the long journey by coach to London, 13 days. It was also the main dropping off point for the coaches from London. The White Horse Inn was also the place that runaway couples from England came to be married and many weddings were carried out here. The White Horse Inn consisted of a house for entertainment, stables for over 100 horses and sheds for over 20 carriages and rooms for the guests. This was the first 5 star lodging in Edinburgh the proprietor being James Boyd. James Boyd the Innkeeper was a gambler and was about to lose everything when he had good fortune with a run of winnings on a white Horse hence where the name The White Horse Inn derived James Boyd Sold the White Horse Inn in 1776 to retire. Gullan’s Close Gullan’s Close at the side of the White Horse Inn was the fourth close on the south side of the Canongate prior to 1869 when the first three closes of the Canongate were demolished under the improvement Act of 1867 replaced by a tenement. Gullan’s Close (named after James Gullan) led to the Stables where the coaches and Horses for the London coach journey where stabled. (100 horses and 20 carriages). Above were the rooms and living area, plus a room for the marriages. Nether Bow There were walls around the city of Edinburgh with gates known as Ports, 6 in all. The Nether Bow was the most important gateway as it stood at the foot of the High Street. The port (Gate) access to and from the Canongate, which was at that time a separate Burgh. The walls were built originally for defence against invading armies into Edinburgh after 1513 the battle of Flodden. The Nether Bow, was rebuilt many times, the last time it was rebuilt was in 1606. In the 1700s the demolition of sections of the wall began. The Nether Bow was pulled down in 1764, and demolition of the wall continued into the 19th century. Today, a number of sections of the three successive walls survive, although none of the ports remain. You can see and find out more about Edinburgh’s history in the Museum of Edinburgh in the Canongate. Nether Bow Brass Cobbles The outline of the Nether Bow Port can still be seen by the way of brass setts (cobbles) in the crossroads of St Mary's Street, Jeffrey Street the High Street and Canongate.
