The High Street has lots of little lanes leading off it. We have various names for them in Britain, but in Scotland, the most common are "closes" and "vennels". Closees are usually passageways that are enclosed, altogether, or in part, and vennels I'd say were open for their entire length! Others may disagree with that, but that's how I see them. Closes are also the entry passage into a tenement building in some areas! This, is the other end of a close - you've come through the enclosed part and are now in the open again. The owners here have made a beautiful job of brightening it up!
