    Hiking

    Cockburn Street, one of the most charming and lively streets in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, is an absolute must-see for any visitor to the Scottish capital. With its distinctive cobbled streets and historic buildings housing a variety of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, it offers a unique shopping and dining experience.

    The architecture along Cockburn Street is truly impressive, with a mix of Victorian and Georgian styles making every corner of this street special. The painted facades and the striking round tower give it a distinctive character and make it a popular photo motif.
