The Edinburgh Meat Market opened in 1884 on the corner of Fountainbridge and Semple Street. It followed the creation in 1852 of the city's first municipal slaughterhouse which was located opposite on the site of today's Tollcross Primary School.

Tollcross is an area in the south-west of central Edinburgh. It centres around the crossroads of Brougham Street, Home Street, Earl Grey Street and Lauriston Place and West Tollcross.
