Workers clearing the ground for Edinburgh's New Town Quarter development were astounded after uncovering the remains of a giant outdoor gymnasium dating from the Victorian era.
Preparatory works in June 2022 uncovered a series of large concentric rings that appear to be the physical remains of ‘The Great Sea Serpent’ contraption from the Royal Patent Gymnasium.
The exciting discovery was made beneath what was the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) car park on the fringes of King George V Park.
