The hexagonal well in the centre of the square "was carved [in 1807] by Robert Grey a one-handed Edinburgh stonemason, who apparently worked with a mallet strapped to the stump of his handless arm.", and is apparently an exact copy of an early 17th century well destroyed by Cromwell's forces. http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB37367.
