IMPROVEMENTS AT HOLYROOD.—During the
Queen's late visit to Edinburgh plans wore finally approved
for the erection of now stables and coachhouse at Holyrood
Palace, A very convenient site was some time ago pur-
chased for the purpose, and last session a vote was taken
towards the expense, which it is understood will amount to
£3,000 or £4,000. The site is immediately opposite the
Palace, forming ono of the sides of the great quadrangle;
and the whole ground between the present blank wall and the
lane running parallel to it, known as the Horse Wynd,will
be available for the new erection, with the exception of the
ground occupied by the Abbey Courthouse, and one or two
other buildings. "While the ordinary entrance will be from
the Horse Wynd, an ornamental gateway opposite the Palace
will give direct communication with the quadrangle. The
structure will also include a new guardhouse for the maili •
tary, who at present have apartments in the vestibule.
The building will be masked from the Palace by an elegant
facade, which will greatly enhance the appearance of the
quadrangle. Among various improvements in progress in
connection with Holyrood is the construction of a reservoir
on Salisbury crags for the supply of the beautiful fountain
lately erected in front of the Pi!lace. The reservoir is 45ft.
square and 12ft. deep, divided into five compartments, laid
with Caithness pavement,
and lined with masonry 2ft.
thick. The various compartments will be arched over, and
the whole ground will be turfed over, to conceal the work.
Pipes have been laid cqunecting the reservoir with the
fountain, and an overflow pipe communicates with St.
Margaret's loch. This supply of water is derived from the
springs on the hillside. The coat of the structure will be
from RAN to OA
