The Ross Fountain was produced at the iron foundry of Antoine Durenne in Sommevoire, France. It was purchased by gunmaker Daniel Ross in 1862 for £2,000 and subsequently gifted to the city of Edinburgh. It was transported to Leith in 1869 in 122 pieces. It was installed in its current position in 1872. It had some extensive restoration work completed in 2001. Princes Street Gardens is a public park in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. The Gardens were created in two phases in the 1770s and 1820s following the long draining of the Nor Loch and building of the New Town, beginning in the 1760s. East Princes Street Gardens run from The Mound to Waverley Bridge. The Gardens are the best known park in Edinburgh, having the highest awareness and visitor figures for both residents and visitors to the city.
