Glasgow, Scotland
The Stewart Memorial Fountain, designed by architect James Sellars in 1872, is a striking example of French Gothic architecture, celebrated for its ornate design and rich symbolism. Located in the eastern section of Kelvingrove Park, it commemorates Lord Provost Robert Stewart, who played a pivotal role in establishing Glasgow's first permanent supply of fresh water from Loch Katrine.
This flamboyant structure, crafted from granite, sandstone, marble, and bronze, features intricate imagery inspired by Sir Walter Scott's poem "The Lady of the Lake." Despite undergoing a major restoration in 1988, the fountain has faced challenges, including vandalism and neglect, leaving its future uncertain.
