59
Cockburn Street, Edinburgh EH1 1BS
Many
people have walked up the steep winding road, some may have paused
for breath outside no 59, but not many will have looked up and
noticed the carved figures at the top of the building.
The few people that
are aware of them, are puzzled as to why a carving of an owl and a
pussycat appear on an building older than Lear's famous poem. The
simple answer is...it's not a cat, it's a gryphon. Mystery solved.
