Old photograph of the Lawnmarket in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Lawnmarket's name derives from " land market " where produce from the surrounding countryside was sold. A cloth market was also established here in 1477, one of 15 market sites chartered by King James III within the city. This vibrant and colourful market continued to trade here until around the late 1700s.
