Mr Martin (Peter Sellers) is seen going up a staircase to an Off Licence. These scenes were filmed at the small staircase on the right of Lady Stair's Close next to 479 Lawnmarket, High Street, Edinburgh looking down The Royal Mile to the spire of St Giles' Cathedral. A sign above the close proclaims "In a house on the east side of this close Robert Burns lived during his first visit to Edinburgh 1756"
