The 7 best streets in Edinburgh - from Rose Street to Victoria Street, as chosen by us
The best streets in Edinburgh, according to Evening News reporters
In our latest reporters’ recommendations feature, we take a look at what we think are the best streets in Edinburgh. There are so many great streets in the Capital and we have chosen our favourites, including a pedestrianised city centre street famous for its pubs, the main road connecting Leith with Edinburgh, city centre tourist hotspots and a road in the west of the city that might surprise some.
1. Victoria Street
Evening News lifestyle editor Gary Flockhart chose this colourful city centre street as his favourite in Edinburgh. He said: "Victoria Street is one of the most photographed locations in the city - and not for nothing. It's a picture-postcard street in the Old Town with quirky shops and one of the best pubs in town - The Bow Bar." Photo: Jamie Fraser
2. Cockburn Street
Evening News trainee reporter Annabelle Gauntlett chose this pretty Edinburgh street in the old town as her favourite in the city. She said: "I am utterly obsessed with the quaint boutique shops that curve around the old cobbled street. It feels like a picture-perfect fairytale that speaks so many stories of this old wonderful city." Photo: SNS Group
3. Rose Street
Evening News reporter Anna Bryan chose this pedestrianised city centre street as her favourite in Edinburgh. She said: "I could spend all day strolling down Rose Street. It has everything a person would ever need - shops, pubs and restaurants a plenty." Photo: Andrew O'Brien
4. Advocate's Close
Evening News editor Rhoda Morrison chose this legendary close off the High Street leading down to Cockburn Street. She said: "Advocates Close just feels like one of these streets which would be out of place anywhere but Edinburgh. It feels like you're stepping into the past when you take a walk down and the views of the city centre as you go from the top are stunning. I love stopping for a pint or cocktail in The Devil's Advocate about half way down which is also a plus!" Photo: KQ
