A stunning Victorian-era fountain situated in Aberdeen, Scotland, featuring a large granite basin surrounded by four marble statues of mythological figures, with a central jet of water shooting high into the air, creating a mesmerizing display of sound and sight.
It is located in a beautiful park in the city of Glasgow and offers so many sculpted details that you cannot miss it. I saw it without the water jets working... but it is still beautiful.
Very nice fountain in Kelvingrove Park, very close to the University of Glasgow. The park is very peaceful and you can easily find there some free benches to relax on or to make a picnic.
Stewart Memorial Fountain was built in 1870 and designed by a 27 year old architect. The park is beautiful and peaceful. It's a great place for a walk even when it's raining.
Very disappointing as the stone plaque says the generous gift of Glasgow people of PS15800.00 for the fountain to run, but at a time when many visitors are there it's Dirty stagnant water obviously the fountain worked for a long while. And is badly neglected!
A nice stop on your walk around the park.
Located in Kelvingrove Park is this monument to the late Lord Provost of Glasgow, Robert Stewart and and the completion of the Glasgow Corporation Water Works supplying the city with fresh drinking water from Loch Katrine. The fountain contains imagery alluding to the lady of the lake at the centre piece of the fountain. Just below the lady of the lake are 4 lions and unicorns holding shields and circular motifs to represent the 12 signs of the zodiac. At the edges of the fountain are placed four cherub like children with playful expressions. Sadly, there's no water to the fountain.
