Kerr Street, south of the bridge, is a scar in the otherwise original urban grain of the area.
edit"original urban grain"?
What exactly does that mean? The article has obviously been written by one of those pompous twats who all-too-frequently inhabit Stockbridge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.105.139 (talk) 18:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
The paragraph regarding Saunders Street is not objective when it refers to the street as a "scar". Although built in 1974, the flats are a modern interpretation of the Scottish Baronial school of architecture, which is part of the Gothic Revival. Yes, the the point is correctly made that the street is not in the same style as many of the surrounding premises, however, the wording ought be revised.

Madame Doubtfire
editThe real Madame Doubtfire or Annabella Coutts had premises at 3 South East Circus Place. This address sits within the boundaries of Edinburgh's New Town, not Stockbridge as stated. This information can be verified by viewing the City of Edinburgh boundary guides on their website here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlcm72 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
More on Madame Doubtfire
editI have removed Annabella Coutts from the list of notable residents, as she does not meet Wikipedia's standard of notability. Her only claim to fame appears to be that the name of her shop (Madame Doubtfire) was borrowed by Anne Fine as the title of her 1987 novel. If any editor disagrees, feel free to revert. However, if you do, please do not wikilink to Ann Fine's novel or to the film on which it was based, as these are in no way connected to Coutts or to Stockbridge.
