Princes Street Gardens with the Bandstand and Ross Fountain |
|
Front of the Card The main view on this postcard looks to the south-west across West Princes Street Gardens towards the Mound. The Head Office of the Bank of Scotland is above and slightly to the left of the bandstand. The bandstand has been replaced by the Ross Bandstand with its large stage The inset picture is of the Ross Fountain, which still stands a little further to the west in West Princes Street Gardens, beneath Edinburgh Castle. |

Back of the Card The postcard, which has an undivided back, and so has the message on the front, was sent from Edinburgh to Ireland on 24 August 1903. It appears to carry some good news: "Have you heard that all the girls have passed the Oxford?" |
