Every day,
thousands of people walk past the bronze statue of the Duke of
Wellington mounted on a rearing horse in front of General Register
House at the east end of Princes Street. Few, have been inside the
building, even fewer have ventured behind it.
Hidden between
General Register House and New Register House is a unique garden
which has been transformed with plants chosen to represent Scottish
culture and the different aspects of the records held in the two
repositories.
During the week,
there is also a pleasant, quiet and reasonably priced cafe offering
home baking and speciality coffee – a gem in such a central
location.
