The literal sense of a coign of vantage is a projecting corner of a wall or building…the phrase appears in Shakespeare's Macbeth in Duncan's description of the nesting places of the swifts at Macbeth's castle. The word quoin meaning an external angle of a building still exists in English, but the archaic spelling coign survives mainly in this phrase.
