Cowgate Port

In the 16th century this was the site of the Cowgate Port, one of the entrances through the city walls. The entrance would have been between the Travelodge and the building on the left (where the silver car is). The road to the north is St Mary's Street, formerly St Mary's Wynd, and a 19th century photograph of the same location can be found here. The spire of St Patrick's Church can be seen in the background of both photographs.
