The Canongate is the section of Edinburgh's Royal Mile running from the junction with Jeffrey Street to a roundabout almost immediately outside Holyrood Palace.

The Canongate Tolbooth, built in 1591, is the oldest remaining building in the Canongate. It was the administrative centre for the old burgh of Canongate, originally separate from Edinburgh. It is now home to the People's Story Museum.
