Gladstone's Land is located in the Lawnmarket area of Edinburgh. It is a six-storey, 17th century merchant house in a traditional arcaded stone tenement building. It was built in 1631 by Thomas Gladstone.

Lawnmarket is the section of Edinburgh's Royal Mile running from its junction with Johnston Terrace to where it meets George IV Bridge. Regular markets were held in this area until the late 18th century.
