DescriptionMahogany Land, West Bow.jpg	English: Mahogany Land, West Bow, from James Grant's Old and New Edinburgh, 1880. Among the oldest edifices in this part of the street was one which bore the singular name of the "Mahogany Land," having an outer stair protected by a screen of wood. There was no date to record its erection, but its ceilings were curiously adorned by paintings precisely similar to those which were found in the Palace of Mary of Guise in the Castle Hill; and no record remained of its generation of inmates, save that...it bore the iron cross of the Temple, and also the legend—, which, from being a simple moral apothphegm, and not Biblical, was supposed to be anterior to the Reformation— He.yt.tholis.overcommis. (i.e.,"He that bears overcomes.")
