Lady Stair's Close (477 Lawnmarket) is a close (-ose pronounced to rhyme with "os" in "most") in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland, just off the Royal Mile, close to the entrance to Gladstone's Land. Most notably it contains the Scottish Writers' Museum. ==History== Located in Edinburgh's Lawnmarket, Lady Stair's Close is the location of an 17th-century townhouse called Lady Stairs House built in 1622 for Sir William Gray of Pittendrum, an Edinburgh Baronet. It was originally called Lady Gray's House after the widow of the first proprietor. 〔(Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland )〕 It was then bought in 1719 by the widow of John Dalrymple (1648 - 1707) the first Earl of Stair, hence its present name.〔("Lady Stair's Close", Royal-Mile Edinburgh )〕 The close contains the Makars' Court - inscribed stones to the great names of Scottish literature.
