White Horse Close is a charming courtyard tucked away at the foot of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Originally known as Ord's Close, it has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. The name "White Horse" may have come from a royal mews or an inn that once stood there. Today, it's a picturesque spot with restored buildings and a well in the courtyard. Visitors often miss this hidden gem, but it's worth exploring for its historic charm and unique atmosphere.
