Cowgate


The Cowgate is one of the low streets in the Old Town. Two main thoroughfares running north to south in Edinburgh, are in fact bridges going over this part of town. You can see George IV Bridge in the background. Many of the buildings on the High Street and Chambers Street actually start at ground level on the Cowgate. It is the home of a lot of student pubs and nightclubs and it gets pretty noisy here on a Friday and saturday night.

Looks like a nice and clean street.

Possibly that should read and "and early Saturday and Sunday morning", if my memory serves me well!

Cowgate hardly changes at all Grant, is the White Hart still there?
