The Flodden Wall


Heriot Place, Edinburgh EH1 2JE

The Flodden Wall was a defensive barrier built around Edinburgh in 1513. Parts of it can still be seen today in Greyfriars Kirkyard and at Drummond Place/The Pleasance but the best place to view it is from Heriot Place.

At the bottom of the Vennel there is a plaque set into the pavement marking the place where the wall would have continued across the Grassmarket.
