This is a photograph from the book 'Origin, nomenclature and location of various houses and streets in Edinburgh'.
Windmill Lane lies off Buccleuch Place in the area occupied by Edinburgh University. Windmill Lane was created as part of the feuing for George Square in 1779. The name refers to a windmill that was built near the site in 1598 to supply breweries with water. This was demolished by 1759, but the surrounding streets all took their name from it.
