Hidden amid this region, located near the rear of the Museum of Edinburgh, lies a tranquil courtyard comprised of various pieces of stonework. They are compiled from various buildings that no longer exist or were saved from being tossed into the rubbish heap.

The garden is divided into two spaces. The interior consists of a few select items ranging in time periods and subject matter. There is also an interactive machine that allows you to explore the history of a select number of objects. This provides visitors access to more detailed information during inclement weather. 

The exterior cloister is laid out in such a manner that it allows sightseers to ramble among the assorted pieces at their leisure. Included are several headstones that display the way the Scots viewed memorializing their dearly departed. There are also other stone creations including varying manor houses that depict family crests and coats of arms.
