The best thing I know of is what someone posted some weeks ago, on
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/forrestdale/Parishes.html
It doesn't show Lady Yester's Parish as such but I think it was in the
centre of Edinburgh, very much where nearly all the other parishes join - in
other words just to the left of the "C" of "Canongate".
If someone knows something better, or if I've got it wrong, then please let
me know.
Best wishes,
Sheena
