Princes Street
Princes Street Gardens were once a lake (or loch) called Nor' Loch. The Loch, which had been the trash dump of Edinburgh for centuries was drained in order to gain easier access from New Town to Old Town.
Later, the Nor' Loch was transformed into the beautiful Princes Street Gardens. Now the Princes Street Gardens are people's every day refuge at lunchtime or whenever they want to get away from the noise and city madness. One can relax on the grass and wait for the One O'clock Gun to fire, or simply admire the view or even feed the countless pigeons.
