Tempus Fugit's by porto

Edinburgh - United Kingdom Edinburgh's famous floral clock believed to be the oldest of it's kind in the world. Here since 1903 although the face, hands etc. have changed over the years ;-) Replanted each spring to commemorate an event or anniversary. The first words to appear on the clock were tempus fugit, Latin for time flies. The cuckoo appears every hour on the hour, this was 12 noon.
