The Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow was erected in 1872 and commemorates Lord Provost Robert Stewart, who drove forward the city's modern water supply.
The richly decorated fountain in Neo-Gothic style was designed by James Sellars and created with sculptures by John Mossman.
It symbolizes Glasgow's successful supply of clean drinking water from Loch Katrine and thus an important advance for the health of the population.
Today it is considered one of the most important monuments in the park.
