The Smollett Fountain
This memorial fountain, built to the designs of John McLeod, was erected in 1870 in honour of local laird Alexander Smollett of Bonhill. To some extent the fountain also served as a replacement for the "Old Oak Tree", which previously stood near this spot, and which had long served as a gathering place.
