CANONGATE, suburb and parish at east end of Edinburgh. The suburb originated in the erection of Holyrood Abbey ; it was largely occupied first by retainers of the Abbey, next by retainers of the royal court ; it then possessed much splendour, and contained many noble mansions ; it suffered great devastation by the English in 1544, underwent grand reconstruction, and continued to be much inhabited by the nobility till the National Union ; and it then began to be occupied mainly by the operative classes, and thenceforth declined rapidly into a condition of poverty and squalor. It was long so divided from Edinburgh by an open tract as to be a separate town, but it eventually grew into strict contiguity with all the eastern end of the Old City ; it now, in its main street, or Canongate proper, extends from the palace yard of Holyrood to the foot of Netherbow, and measures in that line about 650 yards; it is winged, on both sides of its main street, with numerous narrow alleys or closes ; it has there also, in the same length and direction as the closes, 5 modern or renovated streets ; and it likewise includes the two flanking thoroughfares of North Back and South Back, and the salient thoroughfares of Watergate, Abbeyhill, St. John's Hill, and Pleasance. Its most noticeable buildings are several quondam noble mansions now in a state of utter decadence, Queensberry House, quondam mansion of the Dukes of Queensberry, now the House of Refuge for the Destitute ; Moray House, quondam mansion of the Earls of Moray, now the Normal School of the Free Church ; the Tolbooth, a curious edifice of 1591; 3 Established churches, 4 Free churches, a United Presbyterian church, an Episcopalian church ; a public school of 1878, erected at a cost of about 7400 ; and Queensberry Lodge, a genteel female reformatory erected in 1866.
