Carlops Drinking Fountain
Image: © Colin Kinnear Taken: 30 Jun 2023
A fine example of a mid 19th century well and drinking fountain, notable for its well-detailed carving with distinctive curved alcove flanked by swept, coped walls surmounted by finials. Prominently located beside the road, the structure adds considerably to the interest of the village streetscape. The structure was donated by the Browns of nearby Newhall House which is located nearby in Penicuik Parish.
