Bandstand

The bandstand, manufactured in 1891 by George Smith and Co of the Sun Foundry in Glasgow, was likely installed in 1891 or 1892. It features a sandstone plinth, cast-iron columns, and a metal-clad wooden roof, with a ten-sided plan. The structure is single-storey and open-sided, supported by cast-iron columns at the corners that have fluted bases, twisted shafts, and crocket capitals. In 1983, these columns were linked by a circular wooden beam attached to their inner faces, which probably dates from 1927 and replaced earlier glazed timber shuttering. Large pierced spandrel brackets extend from the capitals both laterally and forwards to support the oversailing eaves of a strongly-swept roof, which has a simple corona around a dome topped with a renewed finial. The design originally included pierced balustrades, which are now absent. The interior has a flat boarded ceiling. The bandstand forms a group with The Pavilion.
