Message from Ian G Black

The Ross Fountain is a charming cast-iron structure nestled in West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. Originally gifted to the city by gunmaker Daniel Ross in 1862, this fountain has been a beloved landmark for over a century. After a recent restoration in 2018, it now shines in turquoise, brown, and gold hues, adding a touch of elegance to the park. Visitors can enjoy the soothing sound of water flowing from this iconic fountain while taking in the picturesque views of Edinburgh Castle.
