Princes Street gardens
Post-development shot in January 2021 while Edinburgh was in the winter lockdown of the 2020-21 global Covid-19 pandemic. The gardens benefited from lockdown, as there was no Christmas market, and residents were able to walk freely in them.
Princes Street Gardens was originally the site of the Nor' Loch (or North Loch). It was drained in the mid-eighteenth century around the time the New Town was being developed.

July 2020: The cost of reinstating East Princes Street Gardens following the 2019 Christmas market, and resultant waterlogging, was more than £150,000, three times higher than previous years. Underbelly paid the council in full for the repairs. The council paid an additional £40,000 for improved drainage work.
