Description

Early 19th century in present form. Coped rubble retaining wall; railings; spear finials; steps at ends.

Statement of Interest

Before the construction of this wall the area was vaulted. There are still vaults beneath the terrace although no longer used by the residents of the properties. This wall, and others along the street, form the distinctive terraces of Queensferry, which give the town its unique character.
