Above the modern entrance to Bailie Fyfe's Close, a 17th-century heraldic panel has been inserted. The shield, which is flanked by the initials I P and M H, bears the arms of Hay of Murnsyde. The carved lintel over the E window on the second floor seems to be modern. A moulded lintel said to have come from the third floor of the tall tenement that formerly stood upon the E side of the Close, and now inserted over a doorway in the modern brick building that occupies the same site, bears
'ENEMEIS OF GOD AND THE KING TO THE EARTH DID ME DOVN DING'
together with the date 1572.
J Geddie 1927; RCAHMS 1951.
