77. Maison Dieu, Bell's Wynd.

At the head of Bell's Wynd there stood a house called "Maison Dieu," the property of George Crichton, Bishop of Dunkeld (1). Its early history is lost. One of the few references made to it is contained in a deed of 1582, which states that a lease of it was given by the "bedlars" of the Hospital of St. Thomas beside Holyrood (2).
