New Well Wynd, noted for its 18th-century ashlar wellhead with a pyramid top, is lined on the west by well-grouped, well-scaled 1950s stepped, terraced houses by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth & Paul. The top of the wynd is marked by St John's Evangelical Church, 1840, Romanesque in detail upon a classical plan, the roof corbelled in a manner identical to the single bay in Victoria Place; and Lindisfarne (entered from the Wynd), c.1845, an opulent classical United Presbyterian manse with Doric-columned porch, stringcourse and thin pilaster strips. The tidy 263 High Street, with its late 18th-century plaque in the wall, has finely scaled windows and swept dormers. Restored by William A Cadell, who also restored Nos 5-17 New Well Wynd.
