A historic landmark in Edinburgh is returning to its old location after being fully refurbished.

The first parts of the renovated Ross Fountain will be returned to the site within West Princes Street Gardens during February.

The fountain that will be fully returned in early summer will be in pristine condition and capable of withstanding the Scottish climate.

Managing director of the The Ross Development Trust, David Ellis, said: "The view of the Ross Fountain with the castle in the backdrop has become a postcard image of the city.

"We therefore prioritised the restoration of this amazing and much-loved monument within the wider revitalisation project."

The Ross Development Trust's project to restore the fountain is part of its wider ambition to regenerate West Princess Street Gardens.
