Fountain Princes St Gardens

Ross Fountain

My Google research of this stunning, and recently restored, fountain is given below.

Spotted in 1862 by local gun maker Daniel Ross at the Great Exhibition in London he described it as "obtaining universal admiration".

Bought as a gift to Edinburgh city, in September 1869 by Daniel Ross.

The 122 pieces were shipped to Leith where they would later be sent to Princes Street Gardens to be asembled.

Sadly before the fountain was completed and offically opened in 1872, Daniel died...
