Description: This pattern of setts in the roadway is the site of the stone cross which marked the old official boundary between the burghs of Canongate and Edinburgh before their merger in 1856. It lay outside Edinburgh's town gate called the Netherbow Port and was the place where the town council would assemble to meet royal visitors approaching the city from the direction of Holyrood. Lord Provosts were knighted on this spot.
