Chalmers Close

This close runs from the High Street at the top, down to Jeffrey Street, making it is a handy wee short cut for Waverley Station.

It is also home to CarrubbersCafe, the quirky doily-clad Forsyth's Edwardian Tearoom and Trinity College Apse, the only surviving part of Trinity College Church founded in 1460 (see Gone but Not Forgotten).
