The statue of Greyfriars Bobby is the peg from which Candlemaker Row is hung like a scarf winding down to the Grassmarket. The street's name reminds us of far-off times lit by candles. Tallow candles were made here centuries ago. You can amble down from Greyfriars Bobby to my shop, "STILL LIFE", 54 Candlemaker Row, the current home of Desirabilia.com.  

 

STILL LIFE is closing down in 2022: there are great "deals" on the remaining stock which must be cleared.
