VIEW LARGE VERSION HERE Cockburn Street Edniburgh Scotland just love the look of these amazing buildings and the wave they seem to ‘wrap’ gently around the street… The broad sweep of Cockburn Street runs from the High Street on the Royal Mile towards Waverley Station. It was built by the “Edinburgh Railway Station Access Company”, starting in 1859. The previous buildings were demolished to make way for the new street. Surprisingly, it is named after Lord Henry Cockburn who was a judge, advocate and journalist – and an outspoken conservationist. The Cockburn Society in Edinburgh now seeks to preserve the old buildings and architectural features in the city.

The Bank of Scotland Building at the Mound, Edinburgh, Scotland. The former Bank of Scotland headquarters, now headquarters of the merged HBOS, has dominated the northern flank of Edinburgh’s Old Town for 300 years. The shot is from Cockburn Street. The Bank of Scotland Headquarters stands on Edinburgh’s Mound looking down over East Princes Street Gardens. The HQ Building was initiated while Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville (1742 – 1811), was Governor of the Bank. The Bank Headquarters was built by architects Robert Reid (1774 – 1856) and Richard Crichton. David Bryce (1803 – 76) refurbished the Interior in 1862 and added new domed wings with a grand replacement central dome. The Bank of Scotland Headquarters were remodelled again in 1929 and 1981. Established by an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1695, the Bank of Scotland is the oldest surviving UK clearing bank. The Bank started in Edinburgh’s Old Town, at Old Bank Close in the Lawnmarket, before relocating to the Mound. The Bank of Scotland merged with the Halifax Building Society in 2001, becoming HBoS Plc, but the Bank’s headquarters remain in Edinburgh. Shot taken on 28th February 2009.

I spent quite a bit of time working in the garden this weekend, and a gentle breeze spinning the glass chimes in a nearby fruit tree reminded me of this song by Bruce Cockburn Here is Child of the Wind I love the pounding of hooves / I love engines that roar / I love the wild music of waves on the shore / And the spiral perfection of a hawk when it soars / Love my sweet woman down to the core There’s roads and there’s roads / And they call, can’t you hear it? / Roads of the earth / And roads of the spirit / The best roads of all / Are the ones that aren’t certain / One of those is where you’ll find me / Till they drop the big curtain Hear the wind moan / In the bright diamond sky / These mountains are waiting / Brown-green and dry / I’m too old for the term / But I’ll use it anyway / I’ll be a child of the wind / Till the end of my days Little round planet / In a big universe / Sometimes it looks blessed / Sometimes it looks cursed / Depends on what you look at obviously / But even more it depends on the way that you see / Hear the wind moan / In the bright diamond sky / These mountains are waiting / Brown-green and dry / I’m too old for the term / But I’ll use it anyway / I’ll be a child of the wind / Till the end of my days

In Edinburgh, Scotland, closes and wynds are narrow lanes running out north and south off the Royal Mile. This is why, when looking at a map, the Royal Mile resembles a fish bone. Each close has a name, usually associated with the owner of tenements on that close. Formerly known as Bruce’s Close, Warriston’s Close is named for Lord Warriston, Sir Archibald Johnston who was a judge and a strong supporter of the Covenanters. This view is from the foot of Cockburn Street leading up to the High Street ((part of the Royal mile). Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.
