The fountain was installed in Dalmuir Park in 1907 as a gift from an ex-Provost, Samuel Leckie. It was built in the McFarlane's Saracen Foundry in Possilpark, Glasgow. The coat of arms of the Burgh of Clydebank is one of several images high on the fountain. The other 'heads' of lions, gryphons, owls and the eagle were typical features of ornate ironwork made in the early 20th century. (Notice in Dalmuir Park)
