Description
The drinking fountain at West End was built in 1901 by Walter MacFarlane and Co of Glasgow. It is made of cast iron and features an openwork canopy supported by four columns. The canopy has cusped round arches with foliate spandrels and round relief plaques of Queen Victoria positioned above. The cupola is adorned with dragons at the angles and a finial at the top. Inside the cupola, there are pendants at the top and corners. The drinking fountain itself is mounted on a column with four shafts and lizards with foliate tails. It has a shallow bowl with incised decoration and a gadrooned edge that supports a shaft from which a water jet emerges through a decorated cap.
