List of Closes on the Royal Mile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland, consisted originally of the Royal Mile, and the small streets and courtyards that led of it to the North and South. These are called variously Closes, Entries, Courts and Wynds, and usually named after a memorable occupant of one of the nearby apartments, or by the occupations of those that traded therein. Generically they are termed Closes.

This list lists the Southside, then the Northside of the constituent parts of the Royal Mile; the list is not alphabetical.
