Fuente Ross

Ross Fountain es una fuente decorativa de mediados del siglo XIX, realizada en hierro y situada en el west end de Princes Street Gardens, en Edimburgo. Las figuras que se representan en la misma incluyen sirenas y cuatro mujeres identificadas con la ciencia, las artes, la poesía y la industria. Una última figura femenina se levanta en la cúspide del monumento.
Después de haber sido fundida en Durenne Ironworks a principios de los años 1860, fue exhibida en la Gran Exposición de Londres en 1862, donde fue vista por el filantrópico y fabricante de armas Daniel Ross, quien la compró para la Ciudad de Edimburo. Fue transportada en 122 piezas, llegando a Leith en 1869.
