The refurbished project of the magnificent Stewart Memorial Fountain was unveiled on Wednesday the 13th of October at 2.15pm. Cameron Presentations were delighted to be involved providing P.A. and stage management.
Built in 1871-2 of granite, sandstone, marble and bronze, this flamboyant French-Scottish Gothic structure commemorates the Lord Provost Robert Stewart, the man who was mostly responsible for establishing Glasgow’s first permanent supply of fresh water from Loch Katrine.
After a long period of neglect and disuse, the beautiful structure was the subject of a major restoration scheme in 1988. After a couple of years of renewed activity, problems with pipework and incessant vandalism led to the closing down of the fountain.
In keeping with the Loch Katrine 150th Commemorative Anniversary of Queen Victoria opening the first sluice gate at the entrance to the aqueduct at Loch Katrine as the fountain commemorated the original project.
"The event went extremely well yesterday which featured on the BBC and STV region news programmes last night. Many thanks for provision of staff and hire of PA system, I’m sure we will again seek you’re services in the near future."
