Princes Street Gardens are closed Saturday 29 January due to high winds. This affects access to our Gallery Shop and The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant. They can be reached via the rear entrance to the Royal Scottish Academy on the Mound Precinct. The lift is currently out of order so access is via stairs only. Edinburgh Council will inspect the Gardens on Sunday to determine if they are safe to reopen.
