Lady Lawson Street is situated a short distance south-west of Edinburgh Castle. It runs north-west from Lauriston Place through West Port to Castle Terrace.

The word cobble has been used here to help with searching, an alternative term is sett. Sett stones describe both the type of stone and the method in which they are used.
