Abstract:

This chapter discusses the role of the Netherbow gate as urban frontier in early modern Edinburgh, both in times of peace and war, as a marker of the different significance of 'inside' and 'outside' space. It discusses how the role of urban borders changed over time, because of economic, political, and social circumstances. It also addresses how superseded urban frontiers kept lingering within altered urban spaces through traditions and denominations.
