Tradition tells that Knox lived in the house in the Netherbow during the months between his return to Edinburgh in August and his death in November, 1572. Despite being aged almost sixty and very ill, Knox continued to preach at St Giles. Due to his ill health he needed to stay nearby the church, which can still be seen clearly from this house. His death on 24 November 1572 was mourned by many as a national tragedy. At his funeral the Protestant Regent, the Earl of Morton, paid testament to Knox's life "There lies he who never feared the face of man".
