Castlehill is the section of the Royal Mile running from Castle Esplanade to the Lawnmarket in Edinburgh.
Assembly Hall is situated on Mound Place, just off the Mound in Edinburgh. It is part of a group of buildings constructed for the Free Church of Scotland during the mid-nineteenth century. The building has been used to house the annual General Assembly of the Church of Scotland since 1929, and also played temporary host to the revived Scottish Parliament between 1999 and 2004. Its rear entrance is on Castlehill.
The word cobble has been used here to help with searching, an alternative term is sett. Sett stones describe both the type of stone and the method in which they are used.
