What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, 21 St John Street, St John's Priory as House (18th Century), Priory (20th Century), Tenement (16th Century) - (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St John's Priory in Edinburgh was historically associated with St John the Baptist, and like many such sites, may have been linked to local traditions of healing and pilgrimage, particularly in pre-Reformation times. The priory's religious significance is reflected in the naming of nearby St John Street, though specific folklore or cures tied to the site are not well documented.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
