Original caption: The foot of High school Wynd showing Cardinal Beaton's House.
High School Wynd is a short street linking Infirmary Street with the Cowgate. Edinburgh High School was built on what is now called Infirmary Street in 1578. The School moved to Regent Road in 1829, and stayed in those grand premises until moving to Barnton in 1969.
