Carved lintel in Boyd's Entry
A 16thC 'marriage-stone' removed from Old Post House Close in the Cowgate and incorporated into the building which stands on the former site of the White Horse Inn (not to be confused with its namesake at the foot of the Canongate). The inscription NISI DEVS FRUSTRA—without God, [the building of the house is] in vain—appears above the initials of James Barron and his spouse Ellen Leslie who died in 1577. It is believed that the third numeral of the date 15[?]3 has been recut as a 2.
