Bernard Street, Edinburgh

[2] In 1780, the first public sewer in Scotland was built in Bernard Street, flowing into the Water of Leith.

At the east end of the street is a statue of Robert Burns by David Watson Stevenson erected in 1898.

[1] Today, the buildings of Bernard Street have been converted to use as pubs, cafes and the offices of media, marketing and publishing companies.

From the mid-18th century, a stagecoach service ran from Bernard Street to the city's Old Town.

Bernard Street forms part of the main coastal route around north Edinburgh.
