'Land' is an older word for 'tenement'. It is used to refer to several of the multi-storey buildings in Edinburgh's Old Town such as Gladstone's Land.
The High Street is the section of Edinburgh's Royal Mile that runs from George IV Bridge down to its junction with Jeffrey Street and St. Mary's Street.
