caption_attribution_description: English: Cockburn Street Cockburn Street is Edinburgh's traditional youth street. Record stores have been in retreat, although the utterly wonderful Avalanche Records is still going strong, but the usual mix of clothes shops and restaurants are still there. A worrying trend is that the dreaded tartan tat shops are sneaking in, after all but sterilising the High Street.
context_page_description: Cockburn Street is a picturesque street in Edinburgh's Old Town, created as a serpentine link from the High Street to Waverley Station in 1856. It is named after the then recently-deceased Scottish lawyer, judge and literary figure Henry, Lord Cockburn who was influential in urging his fellow citizens to remain vigilant in ensuring that early-Victorian expansion, e.g. improvements such as Cockburn Street, did not irrevocably damage or obliterate the built heritage and environment.
  Lord Cockburn's head is carved over the entrance to 1 Cockburn Street which now serves as offices for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
  The street contains a series of small specialist shops.
