Nineveh Fountain. "There are many Victorian landmarks in Bridge of Allan. One of the most impressive is the fountain of Nineveh, complete with its cast-iron Doric column it stands half way down Fountain Road. This was an 1851 whimsy of the owner of the Westerton Estate which was named to commemorate the excavations going on at the time at the site of the original Nineveh (on the River Tigris in modern day Iraq)."
