Castlebarns is an earlier name for a short section of Morrison Street running west from Semple Street. The name was lost in the latter half of the 19th century when the name Morrison Street, which had originally referred to the section of the street west of Dewar Place, began to be applied to the street as far east as Lothian Road. St Anthony's Place to the east of Castlebarns, and Tobago Street to the west were similarly absorbed into Morrison Street.
