St Vincent Walk
Street developed around 2005. The facades hide pretty ordinary buildings which look pretty horrid from the back. They dominate Silvermills with a blank grey wall. Image]

St Stephen's Church from St Stephen Street
Designed by William Playfair and built on a steep slope at the foot of St Vincent Street in 1826-28, the church houses the longest clock pendulum in Europe. An apocryphal story exists that the Corporation (Lord Provost, magistrates and bailies) were so irritated by the Edinburgh Academy setting itself up as a rival to the town's High School that it gave permission for the church to occupy this site, thus blotting out the Academy front entrance which originally terminated the view from the top of Howe Street.

Fettes Row, Edinburgh New Town
Looking west from the junction with Dundas Street. Fettes Row feeds into St Vincent Place, beyond the barrier, and the building at the end, with 'cupola', is St Stephen's Church.

Churches little and large
The tower of St Stephen's Church looms over the somewhat smaller St Vincent's Episcopal Church in Howe Street. It is said that the pendulum of St Stephen's clock is the longest in Europe, at 65 feet 9 inches. St Stephen's was designed by William Playfair as a square set diagonally to fit into this awkward, sloping site at the foot of Howe Street. It is now used as an arts venue, but St Vincent's still functions as a church.
