BARE BONES
Edinburgh
The Meadows. Melville Dr, Edinburgh
Visiting Edinburgh’s city centre? Head straight to the lush park The Meadows, located mere meters from the prestigious University of Edinburgh. Then take Jawbone Walk. After walking several minutes, you will pass under an arch made from what looks like four large pillars. Not your ordinary building materials, the pillars are actually whale jawbones. Placed on display in the park for the first time in 1886 during the International Exhibition of Industry, Science and Art, the bones are still here, 130 years later. To leave you speechless? Indeed.
