Late 19th or very early 20th C cast-iron fountain donated to Bathgate by the wife of Peter Mclagan, MP for Linlithgowshire (who died in 1900). It originally stood at the top end of George Street, at the crossroads with Hopetoun Street, but was moved to the plaza called The Steelyard at the low end of George Street, presumably because its presence at the crossroads interfered with traffic.
