???? Edimbourg: Cowgate Free Church au bas de Candlemaker Row sur Cowgate avec au fond le clocher de l'ancienne église Tolbooth-Highland-St John's Church (the Hub)

Patrick Wilson, 1861 (dated). Former church and hall, now Clinic. Gothic church with octagonal entrance tower.

Ecclesiastical building, no longer in use as such. The panel above the door reads 'Erected and endowed from funds bequeathed by William Whyte Edinburgh MDCCCLXI.' The Petitioners to the Dean of Guild were the Trustees of the late William Whyte, bookseller in Edinburgh. Set back from the road between 2 advanced properties, creating a shallow forecourt. Dean of Guild drawings show 2 shops in the flanking wings, and a bakehouse and oven to the rear. The tower may make reference to that at St John's Constitution Street, Leith, by David Rhind (1843), although the Dean of Guild drawings show that it was intended to have a small spire.
