Blue Gate Close?
“he had this year chosen to rent a small studio at the end of a narrow cobbled close, whose brilliant blue gate proclaimed it to the High Street as an abode of the artistically-minded.&rdquo — The Five Red Herrings.
Here’s my best guess at Wimsey’s lodgings in Kirkcudbright. The house fronts on the High Street just down and around the corner from the “McClellan Arms”. There’s a well kept close through the green, not blue, gate. In general the property appears to match the description in the book completely but for the color.
Filed under Literary Locations, Kirkcudbright, Dorothy L. Sayers and “The Five Red Herrings”.
