| Description |
"1080 1980 The Town Wall Site of late 13th Century Gunner Tower Converted in 1821 for use by Company of Slaters and Tylers. Demolished 1885 Foundations excavated 1964" In 1827 Eneas Mackenzie wrote: "Gunner Tower, or rather Gunnerton Tower, is said to have been built by the ancient family of Swinburn, who had a house behind it. In 1821, it was converted into a hall for the incorporated company of Slaters and Tylers; on which occasion the workmen found a large quantity of shillings and sixpences, of the coinage of Edward I. The tower has been very neatly repaired, and the hall is light and spacious. Between this tower and the next, a postern conducting to the Forth was made in 1705, as appeared by an inscription over the gate-way. When it was made, a Mr. Whitfield gave to the public, out of his private property, the lane which leads to it from Westgate Street. This gateway was taken down in 1811; and the whole wall between it and Gunnerton Tower has lately been removed." co curate |
