Victorian Fidler's Well on Aberdeen's Holburn Street, opposite Hollybank Place. The stone water trough is dedicated to Dr William Guild who died 1657. It is topped by a cast iron Victorian pump like many of those remaining at nearby Fittie. The ensemble was paid for by Alexander Fidler. http://christinelaennec.co.uk/2011/03/20/aberdeens-old-wells-and-fountains/
