Abstract:
This chapter considers to what extent the Canongate was affected by the Union negotiations and the political unrest of the 18th century. By 1795 it is estimated that there were approximately 6200 people of varied social background living in Canongate. Edinburgh became the fashionable role model for cultural activities and the city had its own school of artists. Apart from the impressive dwellings that graced Canongate, probably the outstanding feature of the 18th-century townscape was the multiplicity of closes that grew up in the backlands behind the street frontages.
