Scope and Content Stable door and hitching ring, No 21 Jamaica Street, Edinburgh Jamaica Street, built in 1807-19 in a shallow site between Heriot Row and the already projected Royal Circus, was the only substantial development of workers' housing in the northern New Town. The street was almost totally demolished in the 1960s. This door, once part of the stabling in the lane running behind Jamaica Street, still retains its original countersunk handle. The hitching ring at the side is one of a pair used to tether a horse or cow. Out-buildings in the lanes were usually used for stabling, wash-houses or for 'other offices for the use of the occupiers of the front tenements alone'. Sometimes a cow would be kept, with space in the hay loft above for the cow-keeper. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
