This wall or fortification was raised by General D'esse in the years 1559 and 1560, previous, to the siege, by the Lords, of the congregation, and the English Army, under Earl Grey, The wall consisted of a large bank, made of boulders, covered with earth, outside of which, was a deep ditch, filled with water, Campbell in his history of Leith says. "that the Walls of Leith were both of great height and strenght is, we thinK made sufficiently evident, by the circumstance of the siege in 1560, as well as, from the various unsuccessful attempts, which were made on other occasions, to carry the town by storm, The rampart or wall was of an octangonal form with eight [continued on page 28] |

Continued from page [27] Bastions, one at each angle, The first of these called Ramsays Fort, was, situated a little north of the foot of Bernard street, opposite to the King's Wark, From this place it took a South easterly direction to the Exchange buildings, where stood the second Bastion, about the junction of Assembly Street, and Constitution Street, latterly the Bastion took the shape of a mound to which persons, used to repair, for an extensive view it was removed previous to the erection of the Exchange buildings, From here the wall continued a South-west direction passing by a bend in Constitution Street, on the East side, and running nearly paralel to the Street, forming a long Battery called the eastern fortification; nearly opposite to CoalfieldLane, (Where it joines Constitution Street) here the trace of the Wall, was pointed out to me, by Mr Mason (Grocer KirKgate) who came on the site of it, when sinking for the foundation of houses, the rampart still continued in the same direction, to near the South-west Corner of Morton Street, where stood the third Bastion, or about 330 feet north east of South Leith Church From this point, the wall proceeded in a South westerly or nearly westerly course, across the head of the KirKgate, where was placed if not the only Gate, the most principal one in the fortifications, A little beyond this Gate stood the fourth Bastion, which has been determined by measurements and excavations by Doctor Robertson, who has published a plan of the fortifications, [continued on page 29] |

[continued from page 28] The rampart now ran nearly in a straight line, inclining to a northwesterly direction to the Water of Leith intersecting by the way the fifth Bastion, the site of which Doctor Robertson has found opposite to or, in front of junction house. before crossing the Water of Leith, it passed over the spot, where now stand the Leith Hospital, and Infirmary, erected in 1850. Dr. [Doctor] Robertson has in his possession pieces of Swords. spears, and several other things, got when maKing the foundation of this Institution, supposed to have fallen into the ditch, which flanked the wall, a little further on, at the Water of Leith, the wall was connected with its continuation on the west side of the River, by a wooden-bridge, which stood exactly 115 yards below the new Stone, or now commonly known by "Junction Bridge," On the West side of the Water of Leith, and a little way from its banks, stood the Sixth Bastion, where the United presbyterian Church now stands, from hence its direction was nearly due north, passing through a part of the Citadel, where it was again intersected by the seventh Bastion, Known by St Nicholas Port, part of which still remains in the form of two semicircular arches (See Doctor Robertson's History of the sculptured stones of Leith - where a fac-simile of the arches may be seen). Taking now an easterly direction it terminated at the end of what is now called Commercial Street, in front of the Custom house, where to correspond with Ramsays Fort, on the other side of the River, stood the eight Bastion and which alongst with the former. being intended for the defence of the Harbour, was strongly built with stone, |
