Cowgate. A view from George IV Bridge, Edinburgh.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowgate

 

In distance you can see Cowgate Arch, the only visible arch of 22 that form the South Bridge, the rest being hidden by buildings built on both sides of the structure. They are of varying size and height, as dictated by the dip of the ground along its length. Conceived to improve access to the city from the South, work began on its construction in 1785.
