Description
English: "Dowie's Tavern, Libberton's Wynd" by George Cattermole. Libberton or Libberton's Wynd was a steep street which ran downhill from the Lawnmarket to the Cowgate, roughly on the line of the eastern side of present-day George IV Bridge. The wynd disappeared with the building of the bridge, which was completed in 1834. The innkeeper Johnnie Dowie kept a "howff" (favourite haunt) here which was frequented by Robert Burns during his stay in Edinburgh in 1786. Patrons included the painter Henry Raeburn, the poets Robert Fergusson and Thomas Campbell, the philosopher David Hume, the writer Christopher North, the song-collector David Herd and the brewer Archibald Younger. After Dowie's death in 1817, the new owner displayed a signboard with the name "Burns' Tavern".
