East Princes Street Gardens Long Sleeve T-Shirts

It has been years since it got cold enough for long enough in Lowland Scotland for the rivers and lochs to freeze enough for ice skating. But not to worry, it is still possible to ice skate in the open air on the very popular Ice Rink in Edinburgh's East Princes Street Gardens. The rink is built every year as part of the Edinburgh Christmas fair.

One of Edinburgh's most popular tourist attractions, the Floral Clock in West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland, next to the Mound. Commissioned on the 10th June, 1903, this is the oldest floral clock in the world. It is seasonally replanted in a topical design with around 35,000 colourful plants to commemorate special occassions. This year the design commemorates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Territorial Army. The clock is 3.5m (12 feet) in diameter and the hands, which are driven by an electric motor, weigh more than 60kg (130 lbs). The electrically-driven mechanism replaced a clock-work motor in 1973, which had required to be wound daily. There is also a cuckoo which calls each hour.

This monument to Sir Walter Scott is located on Princes Street, New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland. It was built during 1836-46. The architect was George Meikle Kemp (1795-1844), a joiner who entered the competition under a pseudonym to avoid prejudice; the joiner/architect sadly fell into the Union Canal in the fog and drowned before the work was completed.
