Scope and Content The Sheep Heid Inn, No 43 The Causeway, Duddingston, Edinburgh The Causeway, Duddingston's main street, is a narrow lane which runs from the gates of the church the length of the village. It has a number of 18th- and 19th-century houses, as well as the village's only public house, the 18th-century Sheep Heid Inn. The Sheep Heid Inn stands on the corner of The Causeway where it turns sharply to the left, heading up towards the church. The ground floor of the inn is Edwardian, but it still retains a bowed stair and an old skittle alley to the rear. The inn, a popular 18th-century hostelry for visitors from Edinburgh, was where 'many opulent citizens resorted in the summer months to solace themselves on one of the ancient homely dishes of Scotland', namely, sheep heads, boiled or baked.
