Libberton's Wynd

Libberton's Wynd was a steep narrow street in Edinburgh, running from Lawnmarket to Cowgate.

While most of it was destroyed in the 19th century as part of the creation of the George IV Bridge, a part of the wynd has been rediscovered below the National Library of Scotland.

Although small, it was very popular, and frequented by Edinburgh's respectable citizens.

[4] The street was also known as a site for executions, including that of the notorious body-snatcher William Burke.
