Cowgate
The
Cowgate
(
Scots language
: The Coogait) is a street in
Edinburgh
, Scotland, located about southeast of
Edinburgh Castle
, within the city's
World Heritage Site
. The street is part of the lower level of Edinburgh's
Old Town
, which lies below the elevated streets of
South Bridge
and
George IV Bridge
. Consequently, the Cowgate can be quite gloomy and dark in sections. It meets the
Grassmarket
at its west end and
