'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.

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.
