[11/10/2010] Reviewer Cheryl C. characterizes Princes Street Gardens as a "handy spot of greenery" located in the Edinburgh town centre. She says it offers "exceptional scenery" that, as a resident, she likely takes for granted. Among the gardens' "merits," she notes that they comprise "an expansive, well designed, green space" open to all and that they provide "a peaceful spot" for meeting friends or enjoying a quiet moment.
She reports that the gardens "form part of the dramatic looking landscape" separating the old town from the new. She acknowledges that "the views of the old town" are "beautiful," and she also mentions other attractions within or visible from the gardens--including the Scott Memorial, a carousel, the National Gallery, and a "grand fountain."
The reviewer observes that during the wamer months "people flock to the gardens in droves," often making it difficult to find "as quiet a spot." She loves the gardens at Christmas, "when fairy lights are draped through the trees." She enjoys the "Christmas fair and ice rink" as a backdrop for drinking "mulled wine" and "merry frolicking." She rates the Princes Street Gardens at 4 of a possible 5 stars.
