Cambridge Street
Built in 1850 it was originally to be called Watson Street as it was built on land owned by George and John Grindlay who bequeathed part of the sale to George Watson's Hospital, then part of the Royal Infirmary, but now the Quartermile Development. The name was changed to Cambridge after Queen Victoria's cousin, the Duke of Cambridge.

Castle Terrace
Facing the Castle, this roadway laid in 1831 although No 1 was built around 1824. The outstanding tenement on the corner of Spittal Street and Castle Terrace was designed by James Gowans in 1868, who also designed the School Board Office, the Parish Council Building and the Synod Hall which were all demolished between 1965 and 1969.

Chalmers Buildings

Chapel Wynd
Situated off the West Port, the Chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, which stood between the Barras and King's Stables, was built in the 14th century and demolished in 1788. This little Chapel was used by the priest for the purposes of taking oaths on the gospels in the attestation of truth between participants in personal disputes, or to be on hand to administer last rites when required.

Cornwall Street
Originally intended to be named Erskine Street after Mary Erskine, pioneer in girls' education, who opened the Merchant Maidens' Hospital in Lauriston Place next to Watson's Hospital. Built in 1850 it was then named after the then Duke of Cornwall.
