Edinburgh, 1 Cockburn Street
Edinburgh, 1 Cockburn Street, Category B listed hotel building in Old Town, Edinburgh, Scotland.
This sandstone building on Cockburn Street is a three-story structure with an attic level, ground-floor retail spaces, and traditional Scottish architectural details throughout. The structure sits on a street deliberately designed with a serpentine curve to maintain a comfortable pedestrian grade.
The building dates from Victorian urban development in Edinburgh and was designated as Category B listed in 1974. This classification recognized its architectural merit during the city's period of renewal and preservation.
The building displays Scottish Baronial design with stepped gables and corbelled stonework that defines the narrow Old Town streetscape. These architectural features are characteristic of how Edinburgh's historic center developed through the centuries.
The building sits in a central location with close proximity to Waverley Station and multiple transport links, making it easy to reach on foot or by transit. The pedestrian-friendly position along a main thoroughfare offers good orientation and access to nearby amenities.
Cockburn Street was engineered with a deliberate serpentine curve to control the slope for pedestrians navigating the Old Town. This thoughtful street design from the Victorian era is often missed by visitors focusing on individual buildings.
