Named after St John’s Cross that stood on the High street of the Canongate which marked where the Canongate started. The area from the St John’s Cross to the Nether Bow Gate (Edinburgh) was once open land but over time houses were built due to the overcrowding in the High Street Edinburgh, in time the St John’s Cross was removed but was marked with cobbles and a plaque. The Cross signified the start of the Canongate and this is where proclamations were read and dignitors would meet before entering Edinburgh.
