Prince Albert Wearing an Athletic Club Scarf Athletic Club (Basque: Athletic Kluba; Spanish: Athletic Club), commonly known as Athletic Bilbao (Spanish: Athletic de Bilbao), or simply Athletic, is a professional football club based in the city of Bilbao in the Basque Country, Spain. They are known as Los Leones (The Lions) because their stadium was built near a church called San Mamés, which was named after Saint Mammes, an early Christian thrown to the lions by the Romans. Mammes pacified the lions and was later made a saint. The team plays its home matches at the San Mamés Stadium. Its home colours are red and white striped shirts with black shorts. Quoted from Wikipedia Statue sculpted by Carlo Marochetti Baron Pietro Carlo Giovanni Battista Marochetti RA (14 January 1805 – 29 December 1867) was an Italian-born French sculptor who worked in France, Italy and Britain. He completed many public sculptures, often in a neo-classical style, plus reliefs, memorials and large equestrian monuments in bronze and marble. In 1848, Marochetti settled in England, where he received commissions from Queen Victoria. Marochetti received great recognition during his lifetime, being made a baron in Italy and was awarded the Legion of Honour by the French government. Quoted from Wikipedia

Govan, Glasgow The drinking fountain at Govan Cross, Glasgow, is known as the Aitken Memorial Fountain. It was originally created in 1884 and is the only surviving example of the decorative cast iron drinking fountains produced by Cruikshanks & Co.’s foundry at the Denny Works in Stirlingshire. The fountain is dedicated to Dr John Aitken, a local doctor who was deeply committed to serving the medical needs of the area's poor and is believed to have died from overwork. The fountain fell into disrepair over time but was fully restored in 2011 as part of a regeneration effort led by the Govan Cross Townscape Heritage Initiative. The restoration was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Glasgow City Council. It remains a cherished landmark at Govan Cross, symbolizing the area's rich history and community spirit.
