The statue on top of a historic fountain in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens has been lowered into place, as a major renovation project is completed.

Work to restore the Ross Fountain began in July 2017, in a project costing £1.9m.

On Tuesday, the 11ft statue was placed on top of the 19th Century fountain, marking the final phase of the work.

In April, the 12-tonne bowl of the fountain was lowered into place.

Wigan-based specialists Lost Art have been responsible for the restoration work.

The project was commissioned by the Ross Development Trust and sponsored by Edinburgh World Heritage.
