Tour Scotland travel video of the fountain in the yard of Holyrood Palace on ancestry visit to Edinburgh. Erected in 1859 at the request of Queen Victoria, the fountain in the Palace forecourt was designed to emulate one made for King James V, which stands near the palace of Linlithgow. It consists of an octagon base with a large circular basin, and is divided into three stages in height. Throughout, the structure is embellished with beautiful work, representing animals in its lower part, while in the second are richly carved figures of musicians, which are surmounted by an imperial crown supported by four yeomen of the Guard.
