The Vennel - Edinburgh
The Vennel runs down the hill beside George Heriot’s school running towards the north into the Grassmarket, opposite Edinburgh Castle.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) Brodie lives on Admiral Terrace, in Edinburgh, with most of the school drama taking place in the Donaldson building on Henderson Row, now owned by Edinburgh Academy, which serves as Marcia Blaine’s. Miss Brodie takes her girls to trips to Greyfriars Kirkyard, and the Vennel off the Grassmarket for fine views of the castle. Mr Lloyd the art master has his studio across the street from Greyfriars on the corner of Candlemaker Row and Merchant Street, while his rival invites Miss Brodie to his home in Cramond (Barnbougle Castle in the film).

Beautiful love the way your eye gets drawn down that path … B&W looks amazing.
Jo Newman
Beautiful image – made all the more moody and atmospheric by being B&W.
They have vennels in Durham as well. The one I walked down was a lot narrower than this one – you couldn’t pass another person easily.
I wonder what the origins of the word are and why it’s present in cities which are 2 hours apart by train (on a good railway day!).
