Answer?
Stewart Harris' book,
'The Place Names of Edinburgh', mentions a map that shows
Comb's Close. It says:
"Comb's Close
(South Leith) is shown on 'Kirkwood (1817)' and
was perhaps named for Matthew Combe, brewer in the Kirkgate in
1817."
If you know anything
more that might be of interest to Marion, please email
me, then I'll pass on the details to Marion.
Thank you. -
