PLATE TWENTY
Saltmarket Street
The Saltmarket was known as the Waulkergait in the middle ages
and its buildings were destroyed by fire in the seventeenth
century. The Tolbooth Steeple can be seen at the north end of the
street which is lined with tenements. They were demolished by the
City Improvement Trust in the 1870s and the street was widened.
This important redevelopment provided the city's first municipal
housing.
