Stockbridge Market was active between 1823 and 1906.
Originally a separate village, Stockbridge is now a largely residential area situated a mile north of Edinburgh Castle. The village developed substantially between about 1813, when the famous painter Sir Henry Raeburn began to feu his land in the area for development, and about 1850. Much of this development was conducted by the architect James Milne. With its proximity to the Water of Leith and its interesting and diverse architecture, Stockbridge is considered an attractive and popular place to live, shop and socialise.
