Description:
OLD TOWN. This area is historically renowned for its seedy history. It was once the location of the city gallows. In 1736, this was the spot in which Captain Porteous was lynched. Fortunately today, visitors will not be able to witness hangings or lynchings. Part of the city's past can be seen by the bits of the Flodden Wall remaining from the 16th century and the Telfer's Wall from the 17th century. This area is also very popular today for its numerous shops, bars, and restaurants.
