Hidden 15th-century street found behind library door in Edinburgh offers glimpse into city's past.

A hidden street called Libberton's Wynd, dating back to the 15th century, was discovered behind a concealed door in the National Library of Scotland in the 1990s. This street, once connecting the Lawnmarket to the Cowgate, offers a glimpse into Edinburgh's past. It is filled with arches, chambers, and remnants like old furniture and a slate urinal. Though not open to the public, BBC Scotland News recently explored the area, finding it to be a unique historical gem.
