Location
Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
White Horse Close is located just off the Canongate close to Holyroodhouse. There is no evidence of the White Horse Inn ever having served as an Inn, although it does seem to have been built for this purpose. The Close may derive its name from having been the site of the Palace Stables. It may even be a specific reference to one of Mary Queen of Scot's horses. The date of the building's construction is unclear, as at least two different dates have been displayed on the windowhead at various times.
