Cockburn Street

Just off the Royal Mile is Cockburn Street. Its a beautiful street with lot's of unique shops. Some are fairly sleazy but the others make up for it. 'Beyond Words' is a shop selling photography books and is worth a look.

The best place however is a vegetarian baked potato shop. The potatoes are massive and the filling incredible. Sadly there's no bacon or any other meat but there still amazing. It's pretty cheap too.

If you're over for the festival or just need a decent cheap meal (in a hurry) it's a very filling and healthy place to go.
