Original caption: An old house in Kirkgate, Leith. In this house Mary Queen of Scots is supposed to have resided. It has been demolished.
Kirkgate in Leith continues north from the northern end of Leith Walk. It was redeveloped in the mid 1960's to form a pedestrianised area including a shopping centre and housing. Vestiges of the old Kirkgate remain in the form of South Leith Parish Church and Trinity House, both dating from the first half of the 19th century.
