There have been several town walls around Edinburgh, Scotland, since the 12th century. Some form of wall probably existed from the foundation of the royal burgh in around 1125, though the first building is recorded in the mid-15th century, when the King's Wall was constructed.

The walls had a number of gates, known as ports, the most important being the Netherbow Port, which stood halfway down the Royal Mile.
