Alexandria These three stone pyramids near Bonhill Bridge in Alexandria, Scotland were built using red sandstone from the 1898 bridge piers. They serve as a commemorative feature, with one of them originally incorporating a plaque marking the opening of the 1898 Bonhill Bridge. Behind them, there four gas lights (only two visible in the photo) that once stood on the bridge’s piers.

Alexandria The listed Smollett Fountain is an important historic landmark for Alexandria sitting at the junction of Main Street and Bank Street. The Fountain’s origins date back to the 1870s. The Town Centre Masterplan identified the need and desire to see it restored and its surroundings upgraded so it can once again become a focal point for the town.

The Argyll Motor Works, currently known as Lomond Galleries, is a former car factory in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was opened in 1906 by Argyll Motors Ltd, at the time the largest producer of cars in Scotland. After the Argyll company folded it was used as a torpedo factory, subsequently lying empty for many years, and is now a shopping centre. The elaborate structure is protected as a category A listed building. Quoted from Wikipedia .

An ornate fountain on Main Street in Alexandria (West Dunbartonshire), the Smollett Fountain was erected in 1870 in appreciation of Alexander Smollett MP (1801-81), a much-admired landowner and nephew of Lt-Col Alexander Smollett (d.1799), who gave his name to the town. The younger Smollett had done much to improve living conditions in the Vale of Leven, including bringing clean drinking water to Alexandria. The High Gothic fountain looks like a series of pulpits rising above a Mercat Cross. Its highly-decorated basins are supported on columns rising from a massive base, and the structure is surmounted by a cast-iron heron, which gazes skywards. The base is surrounded by black railings and lamp-standards. Quoted from the Scottish Places website .
