The Cowgate Fire - Edinburgh.
A shocking image of devastation at part
of the Cowgate, Edinburgh that was engulfed in a Fire in December
last year. Archaeologists are battling to record as much as they
can from the ruins of 13 buildings that date from the 16th -
20th centuries. A whole history is collapsing before our eyes.
