„The Ross Fountain, Edinburgh“

by Amanda Finan
Picture ID: 515ac6d
Description:

The Ross Fountain was installed in West Princes Street Gardens in 1872. It was cast near Paris, France in the Durenne ironworks in the early 1860's. It was an exhibit in the Great Exhibition in London in 1862 and was purchased for Edinburgh by Daniel Ross a local gun maker and philanthropist. It was transported to Leith in September 1872 in 122 pieces and after great dileberation as to where to put it, it was finally assembled in its current location, where it has remained ever since.
