Old Photographs Of Princes Street Gardens Edinburgh Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Princes Street Gardens, two adjacent public parks in the centre of Edinburgh, lying in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. East Princes Street Gardens originated after a dispute between Edinburgh Corporation and the early New Town proprietors, among whom was the philosopher David Hume who resided in St. David Street, a side street off Princes Street. In 1771 the council acquired the land as part of the First New Town development. It began feuing ground on the south side of Princes Street, on the site of the current Balmoral Hotel and Waverley Mall, for the building of houses and workshops for a coach builder and a furniture maker. After a failed petition to the council the proprietors raised two actions in the Court of Session to halt the building and to condemn the Corporation for having contravened their feuing terms by which they had pre-supposed open ground and a vista south of the street. After the Court found in favour of the council on the first point the decision was quickly appealed to the House of Lords and overturned, but when the Court again supported the council on the second point, the matter was submitted to judicial arbitration. This resulted in a judgement that the houses could be completed which later allowed the North British Hotel, now Balmoral Hotel, to be built on the site, that the adjacent furniture maker's premises must not rise above the level of Princes Street, which is the reason the roof of the Waverley Mall is at street level, and that the ground westwards for half the length of Princes Street shall be kept and preserved in perpetuity as pleasure-grounds to be dressed up at the expense of the town council as soon as may be. West Princes Street Gardens were originally the private property of the Princes Street Proprietors who overlooked them from their houses on the western half of the street. This was passed to them from the council in 1816. Dogs, cricket, perambulators and smoking were prohibited under their rules, and people using bath chairs had to present a doctor's certificate to the Committee of the garden attesting to their ailment not being contagious. An application by the Scottish Association for Suppressing Drunkenness that the gardens be opened during Christmas and New Year with the object of keeping parties out of the whisky shops i.e. illegal drinking premises led eventually to them being opened to the general public on Christmas Day, New Year's Day and one other day in the year.

Walking across Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Princes Street Gardens are two adjacent public parks in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland, lying 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.
The loch, situated on the north side of the town, was originally an artificial creation forming part of its medieval defences and made expansion northwards difficult. The water was habitually polluted from sewage draining downhill from the Old Town.
In 1846 the railway was built in the valley to connect the Edinburgh-Glasgow line at Haymarket with the new northern terminus of the North British line from Berwick-upon-Tweed at Waverley Station.
The gardens run along the south side of Princes Street and are divided by The Mound, on which the National Gallery of Scotland and the Royal Scottish Academy are located. East Princes Street Gardens run from The Mound to Waverley Bridge, and cover 8.5 acres (3.4 ha). The larger West Princes Street Gardens cover 29 acres (12 ha) and extend to the adjacent churches of St. John's and St. Cuthbert's, near Lothian Road in the west.
The Gardens are the best known parks in Edinburgh, having the highest awareness and visitor figures for both residents and visitors to the city.
