Moubray House Next door to John Knox House in Edinburgh's Royal Mile |
|
All the views below are of John Knox House, the house that juts out into the Royal Mile. Immediately to the left of John Knox House as we look at these pictures is Moubray House, built around 1603. It can be seen clearly on the postcard below, with its gable on the front of the building, 'HOTEL' written on the side of the gable and staircase leading down towards the well in the Royal Mile. |

Previous Owners of Moubray House |

Thank you to Nick Bromfield who wrote: "We were the last people to own the whole of Moubray House, including the shop, then called Moubray House Antiques. My mother was an antique dealer who also had Castle Antiques at the top of the Royal Mile, still run by her partner. Inside the first floor front door of Moubray House, on the left wall, there is a plaque. It looks as if it maybe held a tapestry or some such. Only a wooden backing of the plaque is left. This is the remains of a tree that grew from the pavement up into the house which, obviously, had to be removed." Nick Bromfield, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland: February 5, 2007 |
