Scope and Content This shows the original entrance to Slater's Court from the Canongate. To the right is part of 16th- and 17th-century Huntly House, now the Museum of Edinburgh. On the left is a modern block of flats with a cafe on the ground floor. In the background is the crowstepped gable of the refurbished 17th-century Acheson House. The fragment of wall which fronts Canongate originally formed a small two-storeyed building with a shop on the ground floor. There was access to Acheson House and Wilson's Court via an opening adjoining Huntly House. During the late 19th and early 20th century, the courtyard was used as a slaters' storage yard, and the property on the site was owned by the Slater family. The fragment of wall has been incorporated into forming a small courtyard for the Museum of Edinburgh in Huntly House.
