EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Cowgate, from the College Wynd to the Grassmarket" takes us on a journey through the historical streets of Edinburgh. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a bustling scene filled with intriguing details. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the vibrant society and rich history of Scotland's capital city. The Cowgate, lined with its charming buildings and narrow wynds, stretches out before us like a labyrinth waiting to be explored. Intricately etched into this piece are notable landmarks such as Greyfriars Kirk and Magdalene Chapel, reminding us of Edinburgh's deep-rooted religious heritage. We can also spot Potterrow Port and Society Port standing proudly along the city wall, serving as gateways into different districts. The presence of burial places scattered throughout adds an eerie yet fascinating element to this depiction. It serves as a reminder that beneath these lively streets lie stories untold and lives long forgotten. From bustling markets like Meal Market and Fishmarket Wynd to lesser-known corners like Libertons Wynd and Foster's Wynd, every inch of this engraving is brimming with historical significance. Through this digitally cleaned image courtesy of Look and Learn's Private Collection, we have been granted a glimpse into Edinburgh's past – a testament to its enduring charm that continues to captivate visitors today.
