The William Annan Fountain on Renfield Street in Glasgow.
Designed by Robert Lorimer and sculpted by Scott and Rae, this public drinking fountain was erected in 1915. It was presented to the City of Glasgow by William Annan, a wine and spirits merchant from Port Dundas.

Knowledge anf Inspiration by Walter Pritchard. Created in the 1950s, this sculpture can be found on a wall above University Gardens in the west end of Glasgow. I must have been along that road many times, but never really noticed how lovely this sculpture is until yesterday.
