Edinburgh

Cockburn Street

Introduction

Another sweeping, narrow street in Edinburgh’s Old Town, Cockburn Street is believed to be another point of inspiration for Diagon Alley, the magical shopping street in the Harry Potter book series. In the muggle world, Cockburn Street is a picturesque, Victorian spot with several small boutique shops.
