There is no definitive account of how this close acquired its name, but it is commonly believed to be a derivation of the Turing family, who owned property on this site between 1478 and 1529. The first edition of ‘The Edinburgh Review’ was published in this close in 1802, and Lord Heathfield, later to become the hero of the siege of Gibraltar, lived here while attending school. This close currently contains the HQ of the Cockburn Association, the city’s Civic Trust.
