Scope and Content St John's Pend, Canongate, Edinburgh St John's Pend was named after St John's Cross, the old burgh cross of the Canongate which marked 'the ancient eastern boundary of the capital'. The Pend is the entrance to St John's Street, a very fashionable address in the 18th century. The markings in the roadway opposite the Pend represent the site of the old cross, where public proclamations were made. The south side of the old burgh of Edinburgh extended beyond the Flodden Wall to St John's Cross. The north side was included in the burgh of the Canongate. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
