Cowgate

This view looks looks to the west down the Cowgate and through one of the arches of South Bridge, towards the Grassmarket.  The posters on the south side of the Cowgate just beyond the arch are on the site of the buildings that were destroyed in the Edinburgh Old Town Fire

The 2004 photo was taken by Martin Stoggell for comparison with this photo which he took around 1970.

In both photos above, one of the arches of George IV Bridge, the next crossing of Cowgate to the west, can be seen in the distance.
