Significance other than ghostly stories?

Are there any reliable sources outlining the historical and cultural significance of the close - that is other than spook stories? This is pretty disappointing. Nickm57 (talk) 01:56, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

There seems to be a connection to the Edinburgh Plague of 1945, but other than the Mary Kings Close Website, I only found this [1]. Which might be too much of a primary sources for wikipedia. Additionally I found a few sources (e.g. [2] and [3] which mentions background information on the plague in Edinburgh at the time, including details that were mentioned when I went on the Mary Kings Cross tour.
