This archival photograph from 1973 captures the steep, curving ascent of Cockburn Street, a picturesque thoroughfare connecting Waverley Station to the Royal Mile. Parked prominently on the left is a Wolseley 1300, a distinctive member of the ADO16 family, reflecting the automotive landscape of Scotland in the late 1970s.
The street is lined with the impressive Scots Baronial architecture of the mid-19th century, characterized by its tall stone facades, crow-stepped gables, and specialized shopfronts. Pedestrians are seen navigating the narrow pavements, while several other period vehicles are parked further up the cobblestone-edged road. This factual record preserves the unique atmospheric character of one of Edinburgh’s most iconic Victorian streets during a period of daily commercial activity. All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects—or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
