In Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary, Lady Galowrie - born Lady Rose Targenet in the 1850s - who is married to Sir Hector and lives in a palatial Scottish mansion, goes into Edinburgh to see her lawyer and meets the love of her life on a park bench in Princes Street Gardens. The National Gallery of Scotland (built 1859) is set on the edge of the gardens where there are still plenty of benches on which to sit, admire the views, and read the book. This photo (1860) with the gallery on the left is by William Donaldson Clark.
