The wynds consist of long lanes, so narrow that a cart could with difficulty pass along them; out of these open the ÔclosesÕ, which are courts about fifteen or twenty feet square, round which the houses, mostly three or four storeys high, are built. These places are generally, as regards dirt, damp, and decay, such as no person of common humanity would stable his horse in.Ó (1)
