However, similar unattributed drinking fountains can be found outside Alexandra Park in Dennistoun (thought to have been made, at least in part, by the Sun Foundry) and Cowan Park in Barrhead.

The John Aitken Memorial Fountain at Govan Cross in Glasgow. Erected in 1884 as a memorial to Govan's first medical officer, serving between 1864 and his death aged just 41 in 1880, it is one of the few surviving examples of a decorative water fountain known to have been made by the Cruikshanks and Company foundry in Denny.

The magnificent traditional sandstone buildings of Govan Cross on the Southside of Glasgow. On the left is the Pearce Institute, while the former British Linen Bank building is on the corner. Beside it on the right is the former Young Mens' Christian Institute.

Love the little crocodiles in the canopy of the Govan Cross Fountain in Glasgow. Made at the Denny Iron Works in 1884 by Cruikshanks and Company, it's dedicated to John Aitkin, the first medical officer of health for the Burgh of Govan. This drinking fountain is not unique in having crocodiles in its canopy, and identical crocs can be found in at least two other Glasgow drinking fountains.
