Ross Fountain is a cast-iron structure located in West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. It was installed in 1872 and restored in 2018. 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. The fountain is now painted in turquoise, brown and gold. According to the organisers, the colours should last for at least 20 years. The fountain has a new pump and will be switched on permanently. Unfortunately, due to misuse by members of the public, the fountain broke down after only 19 days and had to be switched off for four days. |
