This is a page from the book 'Origin, nomenclature and location of various houses and streets in Edinburgh' by John Smith.
On present day Eyre Place, a brewer from the Canongate called James Eyre built Canonmills House in the early 19th century. He gave his name to the surrounding streets built after his death in 1832. The House was demolished in 1879 and a church built in its place. The Davidson Memorial Church has also since been demolished.
