#CockburnStreet is a #picturesque #street in #Edinburgh ‘s #OldTown, created as a serpentine link from the #RoyalMile to #WaverleyStation in 1856. It is named after the #Scottish #lawyer , #judge and literary figure #HenryLordCockburn who was influential in urging his fellow citizens to remain vigilant in ensuring that early Victorian expansion, e.g. improvements such as #Cockburn Street, did not irrevocably damage or obliterate the built heritage and environment. published onInstagram
