Princes Street Gardens Revisited

2026 was the second time I visited Prince Street Gardens in Edinburgh. I had a day in the city prior to going on my 9-day Rabbies tour of the Highlands. Princes Street gardens are two adjacent public gardens that lie in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. They were created in the 1820's following the draining of a medieval lake. It was a lovely day for a stroll in the park, albeit crowded.
