The Ross Fountain & Edinburgh Castle

The Ross Fountain sits in Princes Street Gardens in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle.

The Ross Fountain was produced at the foundry of Antoine Durenne in France in 1862 and was purchased by Daniel Ross - an Edinburgh gunmaker - who gifted the fountain to the people of Edinburgh.

It was installed in its current location in 1872 and is one of the many reasons to take a walk through Princes Street Gardens on your trip to Edinburgh!
