Old drinking fountains beside King's Park

Four of these late-nineteenth-century (c.1897) pillar drinking fountains can be seen outside the boundary of King's Park in Stirling. Each has a dog bowl built into its base. Two have carved lion's heads at the top, while the other two have ram's heads. The fountains are stamped "Glenfield Coy Limited Kilmarnock". See LinkExternal link (at Memorial Drinking Fountains) and the listing text — LinkExternal link — for further information.
