The place is very nice for a walk outside the city and at the same time in the center of Edinburgh

It's actually a well! It was once believed that the water here had healing powers and could cure arthritis and poor eyesight.
Another fun fact: the well is mentioned in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Either way, it's a beautiful spot by the river and a little different, a place that not everyone knows about yet.
