Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during excavations to locate a burst water pipe, initially estimated to lie somewhere towards the south end of the forecourt at Holyrood Palace. During the excavations, at least two multi-phase, narrow, stone-walled structures were revealed, each with a series of floors, including a cobbled surface at the base. Cartographic evidence suggests that these are two possible stables which were built against the boundary wall between the South Garden and Palace Forecourt during the early 18th century. The south boundary wall and cobbles are, in turn, residual elements of the late 16th-century palace and garden layout. It is likely that the cobbled surface is a continuation of the present Holyrood Road, itself an extension of the Cowgate |
