Edinburgh

Cowgate

The Cowgate is in the valley to the south of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It runs from the eastern end of the Grassmarket, passing under George IV and South Bridges, to Holyrood Road, which in turn leads through the Canongate area to Holyrood itself.

This was the route that cattle were taken from St. Cuthbert’s Kirk, at the western end of the Nor’ Loch, to pastures at St. Leonard’s in Holyrood Park.
