Close Encounters #2

This is Fleshmarket Close, named after the meat market which was situated here which led to a slaughterhouse at the side of the Nor' Loch. the close leads from the Royal Mile to Market Street and was cut through by Cockburn Street when it was built in 1855-60.

Another hectic day but I am meeting B later for coffee at Cafe Grande. Haven't seen her for ages so I'm looking forward to catching up.
