The Ross Fountain in Edinburgh’s West Princes Street Gardens glistened for the first time when the new lighting was switched on last week.
The recently restored water feature in West Princes Street Gardens is now fitted with a low energy, state of the art, waterproof LED system integral within the fountain pools which will project ripples as the water is moved by the wind, creating a shimmering effect after dark.
The water supply was temporarily switched off on October 1 to allow the works to take place ahead of the formal switch on.
Water began flowing through the Fountain for the first time since 2010 when restoration works were completed by the Ross Development Trust on 8 July 2018.
Thanks to the work by @TheRDtrust this happens every evening….. pic.twitter.com/zzFHYlodnZ
