Cardinal Beaton's House was situated at the corner of the Cowgate and Blackfriars Wynd, now Blackfriars Street. It was built around the start of the 16th century. By the 19th century the once grand house had become a dilapidated, overcrowded rented dwelling, reflecting a general change in the Cowgate's character. The building was taken down in 1874, along with many other buildings in the area, under the 1867 Improvement Act.
