EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Cowgate, from the Port to College Wynd, 1646" takes us on a journey through time to the bustling streets of Edinburgh in the 17th century. The image showcases a snapshot of historical Scottish life with its intricate details and rich architectural heritage. As we delve into this print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the imposing Cowgate Port standing proudly at the entrance of this vibrant town. Its grandeur is matched by the impressive structures that line both sides of the street. From Peebles Wynd to Niddrys Wynd and Dicksons Close, each alleyway seems to hold secrets waiting to be discovered. The presence of St Mary's Wynd suburbs adds an air of tranquility amidst all the activity. We can almost imagine residents going about their daily lives in these charming dwellings nestled within this thriving cityscape. Further down, Lady Yesters Kirk stands as a testament to Edinburgh's religious history while nearby High School Wynd hints at its educational importance. As we continue our gaze towards College Wynd, we catch sight of Robertsons Wynd and Merlin's Wynd - names that evoke tales from centuries past. This enchanting engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of Edinburgh's enduring legacy. It invites us to explore its cobblestone streets and immerse ourselves in its fascinating history – an invitation impossible for any lover of Scottish culture or avid historian alike to resist.
