I love the fact I can still find new and different view points in Edinburgh, beautiful treasures that I have somehow missed until now.

Like this impressive semi circle of carved stone monoliths, which stand as a monument for the Royal Scots in Princes Street Gardens. Unveiled by HRH Princess Mary, Colonel in Chief on 5 August 1952, I have no excuse for not seeing it before!

It also makes a perfect place to enjoy your lunch, especially on freshly mown grass and in the glorious sunshine.
