A historic stone archway at Paisley Close in Edinburgh, Scotland, featuring an ornate relief carving of a young boy’s face. Above him, a ribbon-like banner with the inscription “Heave awa’ chaps, I’m no’ dead yet!” is intricately carved into the weathered stone. The close is flanked by old buildings with dark green signage and exposed electrical wires running across the top. The passageway under the arch leads into the shadows, adding to the eerie atmosphere of this well-known historical site.

Paisley Close and its sign: “Heave awa’ chaps, I’m no’ dead yet!” These are the words of a young boy who miraculously survived a tenement collapse in 1861.
