Little Causeway
Attempts to preserve this old part of the town have included closing most of it to traffic, and the original cobbles have been retained. Unfortunately no solution seems to have been found for the ultra-modern scourge of the wheelie bin.

Little Causeway
The sun only illuminates the façades of the houses on the south side of Little Causeway in the evening in spring and summer. The projecting wing is part of the Friarage, and the steeple of the Parish Kirk is beyond it. Notice that the street is still cobbled with round stones, not even the shaped setts which were a later innovation. They are not pleasant to walk over!

Stairs at 7 Little Causeway
Although at first glance the façade of Image] looks symmetrical, closer examination reveals that there is a larger space between the door and the window to the right than there is to the left, giving the illusion that the stairs are not the same length.
