[Situation] A Short distance West of Scienneshill House.
A fragment of the extensive convent founded and endowed in the 16th century by Lady Seyton for nuns of the order of S. [Saint] Dominick. This fragment which is of a very unpicturesque appearance consists of two portions of a wall about 15 feet in height and of great thickness and being roofed in, serves as a shelter for the cattle grazing in the park in which it is situated. The deed of foundation for this convent is dated 17th April 1817 and was confirmed by the young King James V with the consent of the Duke of Albany the regent on the 25th of the following month of May. |

Parish of St. Cuthberts
[note]
"Newington, an elegant modern suburb of the Old town of Edinburgh
It forms the extreme South of the city; occupies a site on the very
gentle slope of the Southern one of the three hills, where it nearly
becomes lost in the plain; and is magnificently overlooked, on the
north east by the centre and most towering part of the bold curve
of Salisbury Craigs, and the most precipitous and picturesque
face of Arthur's Seat. Minto Street, which runs through its centre,
is the grand thoroughfare between Edinburgh and all parts on the
border west of the Lammermoors; and forms an approach to the city
delightful to persons travelling from England. This fine street, most of
whose houses are in the villa style, and chastely elegant, is broadly winged
on both sides, with brief streets, and spacious "places," and clusters of villas,
which beautifully combine the seclusion and airiness of the country with the pretensions
and advantages of the town.“
