When you come at this from the right-hand side of the picture (up the road under the bridge) you do wonder what it's all about. All you can see is the tail end of a golden cow buried in the side of a building. And then when you see the full effect, you still think "What is it with Edinburgh and coos?" A fairly comprehensive and very plausible answer to that question is provided here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3208718
