THIS IS BORTHWICK'S CLOSE
​

Press play on the audio file below, and then follow the instructions at the bottom of this page.​


Return to the High Street and turn right. Make your way to the junction with South Bridge, which is the big crossroad ahead.

Cross over South Bridge, and then continue walking to cross Niddry Street on your right. Stop outside the main entrance into the Radisson Blu hotel - but don't go in!


Look above the entrance to the hotel for the sign marking DICKSON'S CLOSE, then press the button on the page of your web browser.
DICKSON'S CLOSE

Be mindful of other people and your surroundings while on the tour!
​
Take care crossing roads, use headphones where possible to minimise noise nuisance to other members of the public, and try to keep at least 2m from other people during the walk. Because many of the lanes are confined spaces and often provide access to people's houses, please try not to obstruct the passageways and keep access through the lanes clear at all times.
