The Black Turnpike, also known as the 'Auld Bishop of Dunkeld's Ludging', was built in 1461 on the S side of High Street immediately W of where the Tron Kirk now stands. It was demolished in 1788 to make way for Hunter Square and Blair Street. An inscribed door-lintel which appears to have come from this house is preserved at Abbotsford.
