Gladstone's Land is a typical Old Town tenement – how it was in the 17th Century. It is named after the merchant Thomas Gledstanes who owned the house in 1671. The rooms are small, dark and filled with wooden period furniture and paintings, the ceilings are decorated, the floors are joined by an outside narrow stone spiral staircase and the easy-to-miss six storey high narrow building is marked by a golden hawk, which is called “gled” in Scots, and is throning over the Royal Mile.
