Ross Fountain

The Ross Fountain is located at the heart of Edinburgh city centre in the beautiful setting of Princes Street GardensSculpted by artist Jean-Baptiste Jules Klagmann, this fountain has been made from cast-iron, a shining example of 19th century sculpture. If you take a closer look at the base of the fountain, there are mermaids, walrus and lion heads and cherrubs. At the top are featured four female figures representing science, arts, poetry and industry.

Lovely stroll through the park - a good escape from the busyness of the main street.You get to admire the Edinburgh Castle from afar.

Gorgeous! An absolute must-see while in Edinburgh. Be sure to walk around the park for even more amazing views

Very pleasant and peaceful place. Lots of people lots of fun. Best time to vist is summer. Lots of trees and flowers especially the fountain. Perfect place for picnic with family. All kids will enjoy. Lots of food fun music especially for photography.

Perfect photo opportunity! Serene and great to just relax after an afternoon shopping. Plenty of green space around with the castle in the background. Food & drink options nearby as well as nearby toilets. Definitely give here a visit!(Photo by me on Canon 80D)

Ross fountain is a stunning fountain nestled in the heart of Princes' Street Gardens. It offers a stunning backdrop of Edinburgh Castle and has intricate designs. Personally, I believe that this is one of Edinburgh's hidden gem, that is easily missed amongst the hustle and bustle of Princes' Street. During the summer this is a lovely place to grab some food and have a picnic on the green surrounding the fountain.

It is a beautiful place with a wonderful view of the fountain and the castle. The garden itself is neat and green and the fountain is very nice.There is also a coffee shop nearby, but I don't recommend it. The prices are exaggerated for nothing special and the staff arrogant. (I also left them a running review).

Discover the perfect frame at this spot, where you can capture a stunning photo of the fountain with the Edinburgh Castle as a breathtaking backdrop. During my visit, Edinburgh Christmas Market was in full swing. I believe this is a temporary fencing for the season. But I managed to get as close as possible to the fountain.

What a stunning fountain this is!Beautiful colours, fantastic sculptures and simply a joy to see.Combine the fountain with a cracking view of the castle in the background and you have the perfect place to relax in Edinburgh.Check it out, it really is worth seeing.
