This week’s photo shows...
The Floral Clock was set up in West Princes Street Gardens 1903. The mechanism was installed by James Ritchie & Son the firm which designed and built the clock which fired the One o’ Clock Gun. The clock is laid out in a different design every year. Most of the Floral Clock designs dating from the early 1900’s can be seen on the One o’ Clock Gun & Time Ball Association web site's Galleries section Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip will be visiting Edinburgh this week. The Royal Garden Party at Holyroodhouse takes place on Tuesday 13th July. Hopefully the Mad Hatter will think twice about gate-crashing the event as the Queen’s Bodyguard in Scotland - The Royal Company of Archers will be on duty. Photo courtesy of Tommy Robertson. |
