Cockburn Street, one of the most charming and lively streets in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, is an absolute must-see for any visitor to the Scottish capital. With its distinctive cobbled streets and historic buildings housing a variety of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, it offers a unique shopping and dining experience.

The architecture along Cockburn Street is truly impressive, with a mix of Victorian and Georgian styles making every corner of this street special. The painted facades and the striking round tower give it a distinctive character and make it a popular photo motif.

In addition to its architectural beauty, the street is known for its lively atmosphere. Here you can spend hours wandering through the boutiques, record shops and art galleries, which offer something to suit every taste and interest. You'll also get your money's worth in terms of cuisine, from cozy cafés that invite you to linger, to restaurants that serve local and international delicacies.

As well as being a shopper's and foodie's paradise, Cockburn Street is an ideal base from which to explore Edinburgh's historic attractions. Just steps away are Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and other major attractions within easy walking distance.
